Margo Price is an American country singer-songwriter, known for her soulful voice and honest storytelling. Born on April 15, 1983, she was raised in Aledo, IL before making the move to Nashville in 2003. With her unique blend of traditional country and rock influences, Margo has captivated audiences worldwide with her heartfelt lyrics and powerful performances.
Since bursting onto the music scene, Margo Price has garnered critical acclaim for her raw and authentic sound. Her debut album "Midwest Farmer's Daughter" received widespread praise and established her as a rising star in the country music genre. She continues to push boundaries with each new release, fearlessly tackling social issues and personal experiences through her music.
With a string of successful albums under her belt, Margo Price has solidified herself as one of the most talented singer-songwriters of our time. Her songs resonate with listeners from all walks of life, drawing them in with their relatable themes and infectious melodies. Whether performing on stage or recording in the studio, Margo's passion for music shines through in every note she sings.

First impressions matter. Especially on a debut album. Time and attention-strapped listeners size up an artist within a song or two, then move on or delve in further. Fortunately, it only takes Margo Price about twenty-eight seconds to convince you that you're hearing the arrival of a singular new talent. 'Hands of Time,' the opener on 'Midwest Farmer's Daughter', is an invitation, a mission statement and a starkly poetic summary of the 32-year old singer's life, all in one knockout, self-penned punch. Easing in over a groove of sidestick, bass and atmospheric guitar, Price sings, "When I rolled out of town on the unpaved road, I was fifty-seven dollars from bein' broke . . ." It has the feel of the first line of a great novel or opening scene in a classic film. There's an expectancy, a brewing excitement. And as the song builds, strings rising around her, Price recalls hardships and heartaches - the loss of her family's farm, the death of her child, problems with men and the bottle. There is no self-pity or over-emoting. Her voice has that alluring mix of vulnerability and resilience that was once the province of Loretta and Dolly. It is a tour-de-force performance that is vivid, deeply moving and all true. From the honky tonk comeuppance of 'About To Find Out,' to the rockabilly-charged 'This Town Gets Around' to the weekend twang of 'Hurtin' (On The Bottle)', Price adds fresh twists to classic Nashville country, with a sound that could've made hits in any decade. Meanwhile, the hard-hitting blues grooves of 'Four Years of Chances' and 'Tennessee Song' push the boundaries further west to Memphis (the album was recorded at the legendary Sun Studio).
