About me
Singer-songwriter Margo Cilker has spent the last few years on the road—from South Carolina to Montana, to the Basque Country and back to the American West. She says she pines for “Basque wine, music, and cowboys.” Forging a path that is both deeply rooted and ever-changing, Margo recently alighted near the Columbia River in southern Washington with her husband Forrest and their dog and some horses. Her music reflects a restlessness and continued yearning for the road. Margo’s second album, Valley of Heart’s Delight, refers to a place she can’t return, a place that birthed five generations of Cilkers—California’s Santa Clara Valley, as it was known before the orchards were paved over and became more famous for Silicon than apricots.
