Margo Cilker (Enterprise, OR)
Margo Cilker sings with a sparse beauty that can only be heard to appreciate. Far from mainstream country her unique sound harkens to the early days of Lucinda Williams along with the songwriting prowess of Woody Guthrie. On her sophomore album, Valley of Heart’s Delight, refers to a place she can’t return: California’s Santa Clara Valley, as it was known before the orchards were paved over and became more famous for Silicon than apricots. This 11-song collection intertwines family and nature at once precious and endangered, beautiful and exhausting. Her debut album Pohorylle, was nominated for UK Americana Album of The Year alongside Brandi Carlile and Robert Plant, and earned Cilker a slew of festival performances and tours supporting American Aquarium, Hayes Carll, and Drive-By Truckers.
