Talent farm presenterer: Margo Cilker

Velkommen til en uforglemmelig americanaaften på Statsraaden! Den kritikerroste countrylåtskriveren Margo Cilker tar med seg både band og sitt siste album når hun besøker Bergen 10. mai.

Margo Cilkers sterke fortellertalent og evne til å skape musikk som føles både tidløs og moderne, har gitt henne en svært lojal fanskare. Hun debuterte i 2021 med albumet «Pohorylle» til strålende anmeldelser, og hennes fortellerevne og unike stemme har ført til sammenligninger med storheter som Gillian Welch og Emmylou Harris.

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 2024’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.
