The Ghost of Veronica Margaret & Company

Veronica Margaret is a wandering phantom trapped in the body of a 27-year-old San Franciscan woman. She spends her days haunting local coffee shops and pubs, writing songs for spirits gone by, and farming whimsy in her audiences. Her folk music is inspired by poems, literature, nature, and the fanciful array of stories and characters that live inside her head. For the first time in a decade, she is releasing a full album with the talents of Jamie Wilson, Aaron Hammerman, Peter Maund, and Joseph Ma.
