Margot Merah

Description

Dutch singer songwriter and folk musician Margot Merah started her journey in Paasloo, a small township in northeast Netherlands. Currently based in Amsterdam, Margot has been singing and touring extensively around Europe, Australia and the US for the past 15 years.

Margot sings both traditional - often Celtic - as well as her own songs and she's noted for her enthralling voice. Her rich alto gives a lot of depth and personality to her singing. Her direct and open lyrics bring comfort and warmth. For Margot, it's the story behind the song that counts. Voice, melody, guitar and bodhrán are the instruments she uses to tell these stories and share the emotions within them. Margot's love for writing and words is evident. You can hear it in her own original songs and in the songs she selects from the vast traditional repertoire. The story is what compels her both as a writer and interpreter of other peoples songs.
