Margo Cilker talks about her music, her success and more

It’s not often Rolling Stone compares a singer-songwriter to John Prine. But they did just that when they heard “Steelhead Trout” by Margo Cilker. The Oregon-based artist’s first two albums have turned her into an emerging star in the Americana music scene.

She joined Roots Music Rambler recently to talk about her rise to fame, her songwriting, touring with the likes of Hayes Carll, Drive-By Truckers and American Aquarium and a lot more.

In this segment, Frank and Falls dive into her music, her inspiration and beyond.

On the full episode, Falls also talks about his new favorite TikTok account (@rockabuyrecords) and its protagonist (Dean) who is Falls’s new hero. Falls also shares his first take on Dwight Yoakam’s new album Brighter Days.
