Rock & Roll Hotel Modern Times Christmas Show – Thu 12/23 7PM
Among the many acts at the Rock & Roll Hotel on Thursday will be Margot MacDonald: DC native, product of Duke Ellington High School, and recent Artist-in-Residence at the Music Center at Strathmore. Some singers use vocoders, auto-tune, compression, and other effects to mask and distort their vocals. Margot uses a loop pedal to extend and layer her powerful voice — producing percussive backing tracks and shimmering four-part harmonies in real time.
Margot began her career with the Washington National Opera at age 10, picked up a Strat at 15, and never looked back. Now 19, Margot is a five-time Washington Area Music Award winner and is currently working on her fifth album. We could go on, and we will in a future profile. For now, check out her cover of the Imogen Heap alt-Holiday hit “Just for Now,” and get some tickets to the Modern Times Christmas show. In addition to Margot, the show will feature:
