Young singer-songwriter presents showcase for emerging artists

Arlington-based singer-songwriter Margot MacDonald may just be 18 years old, but she has more experience — and, arguably, talent — than a lot of her peers. So it really isn’t all that strange that someone who recently graduated from high school is organizing showcases for area emerging artists.

“It’s a little odd when I think about it,” MacDonald said over coffee at a Clarendon Starbucks. “I’ve been doing this a long time, and age has never really been a factor.”
