Margo Price is an American country singer-songwriter and producer who has established herself as a vital voice in contemporary Nashville music. Born in Northern Illinois on April 15, 1983, Price eventually made her way to Tennessee, where she built a reputation as an unflinching artist unafraid to blur genre boundaries. After years of performing and honing her craft, she introduced herself to the wider world with her debut album Midwest Farmer's Daughter in 2016, an album that announced her as a formidable presence in modern country music.
Since that breakthrough, Price has released six studio albums alongside multiple live recordings and singles, each showcasing her distinctive blend of country rock, honky tonk, slower ballads, and psychedelic textures — a sonic palette she describes as "feral and free." Her songwriting draws from lived experience, tackling themes of parenting, friendship, economic hardship, and the rough edges of modern life with unflinching honesty. This authenticity has made her a respected figure within Nashville's artistic community and beyond.
Beyond her musical output, Price has become known for her passionate advocacy work. A board member of Farm Aid, she has dedicated herself to causes including anti-racism efforts, women's rights, gun violence prevention, economic empowerment, and support for migrant workers. She has lent her platform and voice to organizations like Oxfam, the ACLU, and Noise For Now, leveraging her prominence as an artist to effect meaningful change in the world.
