ABOUT THE ARTIST

Miko Marks
Oakland, CA
Originally from Flint, Michigan, this graduate of Louisiana's famed Grambling State University is a prolific songwriter who wrote 7 of the 10 songs on her award-winning debut album, "Freeway Bound." Her sophomore album, "It Feels Good," was also very well-received. These days, Miko continues to perform and evolve as an artist, rather than be stereotyped or pigeonholed by genre or past success. As she moves forward, there's no doubt that listeners will continue to be amazed and delighted, all while witnessing one of the most beautiful and illimitable singer/songwriters of our time.

"Help" words + music by Miko Marks.

Filmed in front of a live audience at the Western Folklife Center’s G Three Bar Theater in Elko, NV, on February 1, 2020.

Made possible by the multitude of staff, artists, volunteers, and community members working behind the scenes to make this show happen.
