WORDS DESH KAPUR / IMAGES BILLY SEAGRAVE
Margo Price, hailing from Nashville, brought her country-inspired indie music to The Gorilla in Manchester alongside her incredible band, The Price Tags, and the venue was packed to the brim with eager fans.
From the moment Margo took the stage, it was clear that this wasn’t going to be just another concert; it was going to be an experience. The sound reverberated through the venue, filling every corner with its richness. Margo’s voice was nothing short of mesmerizing. It seemed to be a myriad of emotions all at once – soaring, despairing, wistful – yet always undeniably beautiful.
The setlist was a journey through Margot’s discography, touching on songs from all her records but notably leaning on her latest release, “Strays II.” While Margot’s music shares themes with traditional country artists, it defies classification. It’s a blend of heart-wrenching lyrics that tug at your soul and foot-stomping tunes that make it impossible to stand still. Let’s just call it brilliant Americana.
But what truly sets Margo apart is her ability to connect with her audience. She’s not just up there performing; she’s inviting you into her world. With each song, she takes you on a ride through the highs and lows of life, leaving you hanging on to every word.
In the end, Margo Price proved herself to be more than just an amazingly talented singer/songwriter. She’s a captivating performer who doesn’t just entertain her audience; she envelops them in her music.
