margot performs for a secret society (burlington, vt gig diary 7/25/26)

Sep 21, 2026

When I was about 15, my brother moved up to college in Vermont and I picked up, on a whim, a cassette from this little record shop in Burlington. The music of "Long Lost" by Lord Huron underscored my trip to this vibrant, artistic community nestled in the Champlain Valley and set me into a true creative motion.

To have my first show out of state (7/25/26) in this city- so formative to me- was a pleasure.

I think when you start writing and start performing, you may have this idea that you can "go on tour" and play outside of home. You imagine how the trees will look different and the people will talk funny. It's another thing to see the "Leaving Connecticut" sign on your way out. It's a third thing to find that everyone sings just as loud when you ask them to, even five hours from home.

People are people are people. Music reminds me of that every day.

Thank you to everyone but especially my brother who made this happen with his support.

I'll see you all soon.

Love always,

Margot
