Born in the San Francisco Bay area, with spells in Oregon and North Carolina (and the Basque country), Margo Cilker’s open road tales of perfectly crafted Americana hit a real sweet spot with 2021’s critically acclaimed ‘Pohorylle’ album. Her latest sees her operating in the space between nature and gentrification with a suite of country and western songs that reflect on both where we live and how we live. Her playing is as fluid as ever and the tunes memorable. Loved it. GM
