MARGO VALIANTE

MARGO VALIANTE COMBINES ALT-COUNTRY AND BLUES INTO A SOUND THAT IS HER OWN AMERICANA. RAISED IN WYOMING WITH A LONG STINT IN TEXAS, SHE HAS BEEN CALLING BROOKLYN HOME SINCE 2010. SHE’S MOST COMFORTABLE TELLING SAD STORIES THROUGH DARK, POWERFUL VOCALS THAT MIGHT LEAD YOU TO BELIEVE SHE WAS PROPERLY RAISED ON TOWNES VAN ZANDT AND BONNIE RAITT. HER AFFINITY FOR THE TELECASTER IS A GOOD INDICATION THAT SHE’S NOT GOING TO TIPTOE AROUND YOU.

IN THE FALL OF 2019 SHE RELEASED THE SINGLE 'GOOD NEWS', RECORDED AT TRANSMITTER PARK STUDIOS IN GREENPOINT, BROOKLYN, A FOLLOW UP TO HER 2018 EP RELEASE, 'WEIGHT OF YOUR HEART'. THE COLLABORATION WITH PRODUCER ABE SEIFERTH PROVED FRUITFUL AS THEY MELDED HER COUNTRY BACKGROUND WITH HIS GUITAR AND SYNTH EXPERTISE. THE WRITING EVOKES AN AIMLESSNESS AND NAVIGATES THE ENDLESS PURSUIT OF AN AMERICAN JOURNEY. SHE EVEN THROWS IN A HAUNTING COVER OF NEIL YOUNG’S POCAHONTAS.

YOU CAN FIND MARGO VALIANTE FRONTING HER BAND MOST THURSDAYS BLOWING THE ROOF OFF OF SKINNY DENNIS BAR IN WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN.
