margot miller's release show (as recorded by their mother: 5/8/26)

Sep. 10, 2026

I'm uploading this now in a period of relative quiet for me.

After finishing a busy summer of show after show (videos to come), I sit tonight in my dorm room, looking at what's just been, as much as I look at what's in the future.

My EP, "Downy Hair (Turns Into Stubble)" was my approach to writing, arranging, and performing this past year and a half. It's a time capsule, with each song taking moments from my first year of college and building the world and sounds of those things. It's, in broad strokes, what I can make when given certain resources and creative freedom.

Four months from its release and I wonder who I'll be in a year's time.

What of the person you see in this performance will remain? I wonder where I will be in my life, who I will be, and who will be around me...

My family, my friends, my community. We are not perfect people, but I do believe that we try to be better for each other every day.

I'm a long way from a 13 year old obsessed with the musicians on their iPod screen (although, I am still prone to my tangents). I'm a long way from the 15 year old recording crappy songs in their basement (although, I'm still, in my heart of hearts, DIY).

I'm excited for you to see what I'm recording now (some songs are already in production). But at this moment, I just hope you'll stop for a moment and watch. And listen. And know that, at least for a night, we had some fun.

Your poet in all fidelity,

Margot
