Margo Price was born in Northern Illinois on April 15, 1983, and spent years living and playing in Nashville before her debut, Midwest Farmer's Daughter, finally landed in 2016. It sounded like it had been worth the wait: tough, twangy honky tonk with a steel-toed kick, from the hard-swinging "Hurtin' (On the Bottle)" to the slow, brooding "Hands of Time". The Americana Awards named her Emerging Act of the Year that same year, and a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist followed in 2019.

She calls her style "feral and free", and it fits. Barroom honky tonk and country rock sit next to slow ballads and the odd psychedelic swirl, and she writes about parenting, friendship, money trouble and hard living. All American Made, in 2017, brought "Pay Gap" and "A Little Pain"; That's How Rumors Get Started, in 2020, turned up the rock with "Letting Me Down" and "Stone Me"; Strays, in 2023, stretched out with "Radio" and "Change of Heart"; and Hard Headed Woman, in 2025, came out swinging with "Don't Let the Bastards Get You Down". She records for Third Man Records.

Off the stage, Price sits on the board of Farm Aid and has raised money and awareness for Oxfam, the ACLU and Noise For Now, speaking up for women's rights, anti-racism, gun violence prevention and migrant workers.
