Verna Margaret Breaks the Mold with ‘Fair Weather Wife’ EP
Rising country artist Verna Margaret is set to release her new EP Fair Weather Wife.
With two singles already out—“White Shutters, Red Door” and “Paper Cut”—the project offers a sharp, soulful look at relationships, self-awareness, and emotional independence.
The third and final single, “Lookin Back,” arrives alongside the EP and flips the traditional love song on its head: it’s a tribute to lifelong love built on trust, confidence, and freedom.
On Fair Weather Wife, Verna Margaret fuses traditional country instrumentation with wry, poignant storytelling, touching everything from missed connections and delusional barflies to bittersweet breakups and self-secure devotion.
“Lookin Back” draws on the timeless sounds of Patsy Cline and Tom Petty to celebrate love as liberation rather than sacrifice, while “Paper Cut” and “White Shutters, Red Door” highlight the singer’s range for dry humor and heartache alike.
Originally from Virginia Beach and now based in Los Angeles, Verna Margaret draws inspiration from legends like John Prine, Lucinda Williams, and Emmylou Harris while bringing a fierce, original voice to today’s Americana landscape.
Tracks from her upcoming EP, Fair Weather Wife, have been featured by Rainbow Rodeo, Holler, Wide Open Country, and Americana Highways, and her writing embraces both classic country tradition and indie experimentalism. Verna is also a passionate advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and social justice, which often shapes the stories she tells in her music.
