Margo Price

Margo Rae Price arrived in Buffalo Prairie, Illinois, on April 15, 1983, and eventually carried that Midwestern grit to Nashville. She works as a singer-songwriter, producer, and author who refuses to stick to one lane. Her sound mixes country rock and honky tonk with slower ballads and psychedelia, a style she calls "feral and free." After years of grinding through the local scene, she released her debut album Midwest Farmer's Daughter in 2016. That record landed her significant attention for its honest look at economic struggle, parenting, and hard living. Since then, she has put out six studio albums and multiple live records and singles. Her work spans genres while keeping a sharp focus on real people and their struggles. Beyond the music, Price uses her platform to push for social change. She sits on the board of Farm Aid and supports groups like Oxfam, the ACLU, and Noise For Now. Her advocacy covers anti-racism, women's rights, gun violence prevention, economic empowerment, and migrant worker issues. This blend of artistry and activism defines her public presence. She does not just sing about problems; she actively works to solve them through fundraising and awareness campaigns. Her journey from a small town in Northern Illinois to a respected figure in the American music industry shows a clear path of dedication and resilience.[edit]
