Dirty Old Town pres: Margo Cilker (US)

“The singer-songwriter is poised to have a breakout year.” – Rolling Stone

Margo Cilker kommer til Kristiansand og Vaktbua for første gang!

Margo er en fabelaktig og sterkt kritikerrost country/ americana-artist vi nylig oppdaget og når denne dama skulle ut på Europa-turné, booket vi henne umiddelbart.

Som det står skrevet i presseskrivet til turnéen:

Margo Cilker's 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.
In this 11-song follow-up to 2021's critically acclaimed Pohorylle, family and nature intertwine as guiding motifs, at once precious and endangered, beautiful and exhausting. Cilker and Pohorylle producer Sera Cahoone brought most of that record's highly-acclaimed crew (studio players for The Decemberists, Band Of Horses, and Beirut) back to the studio with additional contributions from acclaimed Northwest traditionalist Caleb Klauder.

Valley of Heart's Delight, Cilker's second record on Portland, Oregon label Fluff & Gravy Records, has already racked up an impressive list of accolades and year-end picks and has paved the way for 2025’s extensive touring and festival appearances.

Margo Cilker lives near the Columbia River in Goldendale, Washington with her husband, songwriter and working cowboy Forrest VanTuyl, as well their dog and some horses.
