Margot MacDonald is a bewitching vocal powerhouse smoldering with hypnotic rock -- Robert Plant meets Feist.

About Me:

Margot MacDonald is a bewitching vocal powerhouse -- she is Robert Plant's raw strength swept across four octaves and smoldering with a little Feist. Margot is a textbook case of "classically-trained-soprano-hijacked-by-Led Zeppelin." She started her singing career with the Washington National Opera at age 10, and by 15 she was rocking a Strat, releasing a second album, and packing regional venues. Since then she has put out a third and fourth CD, opened for national acts, and played venues like DC's legendary 9:30 Club, Kennedy Center, Wolftrap, Birchmere, BlackRock, Ram's Head Live, and The Bitter End in NYC. She was also a recent Artist-in-Residence at the Music Center at Strathmore, where she still regularly performs. Margot is the current recipient of the "Artist of the Year" Washington Area Music Award, her 7th Wammie win. In her spare time, the 19-yr-old supports nonprofits such as Musicians On Call and More Than Me, and regularly performs at charity events. Margot hosts the BMI showcase series in DC, serves on the board of directors of the Songwriters' Association of Washington, and has led GRAMMY U and other songwriting workshops. She is in the midst of mastering the loop pedal and discovering the musical genius of half-filled glass bottles.

Margot's live performances have been described as "hypnotic. She lulls you into a meditative state from behind her keyboard, scorches you with dirty rock guitar and then layers scat over Siren call with a loop pedal." Her voice is what grabs you -- a "smoldering, cashmere-covered tone steeped in urgent, vulnerable expression." Her skill is what makes her extraordinary. She pens her own eclectic rock and makes everything in front of her sing, from teacups to strips of wire. She has also been known to roast individual marshmallows with a lighter, anytime, anywhere.

	BeckyLikesToBite (6 months ago) I was wondering if you could tell me what kind of pedal you use to create your beats and sounds, ive been trying to figure that for some time now, and i saw your show up here in Alexandria Va you were wonderful you really inspired to get out there. thank you so much Margot :) cant wait for more of your uploads :)

	Trealforreal (7 months ago) ima fan :)
	sarahlacroixmusic (7 months ago) I saw your pedal madness with your cover of Earth and it inspired me to hunt down a pedal of my own. I've done some experimentation with it when I got it, but haven't done any for awhile. Lately, I've just been going crazy with all the creativity flowing through me experimenting with my guitars, keyboard and mixcraft as well as other art forms. I really do enjoy letting myself roam free once in awhile.
