The Oakland-based singer, Miko Marks, first came onto the music scene as a country artist. But Miko’s powerful vocal range is wide, and so is her creativity. Now she identifies as an Americana and roots singer. She currently has a residency at Yoshi’s in Oakland that’s running now throughout the summer. Her next show is Thursday, May 21st. And her special guest is jazz legend Faye Carol. 

Miko sat down with KALW’s Jenee Darden on “The Sights + Sounds Show.” They spoke about Miko’s growth as an artist. Here’s an excerpt of that interview.
