Margaret Wehr - Portland, OR

  • Second Story Studios 806 Northeast Dekum Street Portland, OR, 97211 United States (map)

Margaret Wehr is a Portland-based singer-songwriter, violinist, vocalist, and member of queer folk group, Lo Pony. 

Known for her intuitive harmonies and ability to seamlessly blend with any vocal texture, Margaret has recorded and performed with more than 80 bands over the past two decades. She has had the honor of collaborating with Sleater-Kinney, Y La Bamba, Chris Pureka, Anna Tivel, Jacob Miller, Alexis Mahler, MAITA, Moorea Masa & The Mood, EL VY, Haley Johnsen, and many others, happily making her mark on the Portland music scene from side stage.

Rooted in an eclectic blend of folk, country, classical, and pop influences, Margaret grew up listening to The Chicks and Christina Aguilera, Martina McBride and Sara Bareilles, orchestral film scores and whatever radio show host “Delilah” was playing. You know the one. These days, she draws inspiration from her favorite musical storytellers: Madison Cunningham, Anna Tivel, Adrianne Lenker, and Angie McMahon.

As a songwriter, Margaret pairs vulnerable, honest storytelling with rhythmic acoustic guitar and intricate fingerpicking, creating songs that feel both intimate and expansive. She approaches the voice not just as a vehicle for lyrics, but as a fully expressive instrument, weaving delicate, ethereal melodies with a quiet precision and grounded clarity that elevate and transform the emotional core of her music.
