Margo Cilker

If you like Margo Price, Nikki Lane, Shakey Graves...

Margo Cilker is a woman who drinks deeply of life, and her music is positively brimming with it.
"I'm just very inquisitive. I'm a very curious person. Why are things this way? Do they have to stay this way? How can things change?" she asks. It's this part of her nature that expands her library into the complex journey that it is: her ability to crack open a moment of desperation and lay it out on a a table to catch the light.

On Margo's critically-acclaimed 2021 album, Pohorylle:
“This extraordinary US singer-songwriter makes country and western her newly minted own...a flawless gem of a record” — The Guardian

“A vivid introduction to this country artist who pushes against conventions of the genre that don’t fit her perspective” — Pitchfork

“Cilker shows that she is as interested in reinvigorating Southern country-folk storytelling tropes as she is in exposing their flaws” — Rolling Stone

"One of the finest records to come out of the Northwest last year, Pohorylle brims with evocative songwriting indebted to Western authors like Pam Houston and country music, though not the stuff heard on mainstream country radio these days.” — Seattle Times
