Madison Cunningham is a 26-year-old GRAMMY award-winning artist and songwriter
known for her "wonderfully tangled imagery and cutting self-awareness" (NPR). As a
guitarist, Madison has pushed the boundaries of a conventional singer-songwriter as
her "guitar work is both classic and wildly emotive, and her soaring vocals are pristine
and inspired" (Consequence). Madison first picked up a guitar at age seven, and by age
twelve was singing and performing alongside her five siblings in church. In her teenage
years, she met Tyler Chester who would later go on to be a close collaborator and
producer of several of Madison's projects including Who Are You Now (2019) which
Atwood Magazine described as "a guitar-driven record, full of twisting, meticulously
arranged parts and interlocking melodies. It's almost labyrinthine; you could get lost in
her swirling words."
Cunningham's latest effort, Revealer, won the GRAMMY for 'Best Folk Album.'
Revealer finds her working once again with producer Tyler Chester along with Mike
Elizondo and Tucker Martine. Written and recorded over all states of the pandemic,
Madison says, "To me, 'revealer' is the binding theme of the album. The hand that
slowly chips away at the mirror in which you see yourself and the world and replaces it
with the reflection that is most true." The album is "full of intricate musicianship,
alongside forthright observations" (All Music), intimations and hard truths - a self-portrait
of a young artist who is full of doubt and uncertainty yet bursting with exciting ideas
about music and life.
