Margo Price Takes On Autumn

Margo Price has had a pretty outstanding year so far, what with releasing her debut album, racking up profiles from the likes of NPR and the New Yorker, and appearing on several TV shows including “Saturday Night Live” and “Later … with Jools Holland.” And now the country singer has lots of gigs lined up.  

“We’ll be hittin the road hard this year. Come see us!” Price posted on Facebook this week. She just announced a fall headline tour that begins Oct. 13 in West Hollywood, following a summer that’s filled with headline gigs, festival appearances and select dates with Old Crow Medicine Show, Brandi Carlile, Deer Tick and Andrew Bird.

Her debut album, Midwest Farmer’s Daughter, was released in March.

Rolling Stone’s review notes that the LP is the first “full-on country” release for Jack White’s Third Man Records and that he was “smart to wait ‘til he had an act this undeniable.”

RS adds, “Price is a thirty-something East Nashvillian originally from Illinois; the vocal style is restrained yet mighty, her songcraft amazingly vivid, and the arranging instinct spot on, with a taste for retro styling that never tilts into Gramma’s attic dress-up.”
