21-year-old singer-songwriter Madison Cunningham's new single "Location" is out today; listen HERE. The track is joined by a stripped-down solo performance video; watch HERE. Cunningham is currently recording her debut LP, which is set for release next year via Verve Forecast.
Cunningham has previously performed as a duet partner with Punch Brothers' Chris Thile onAPM's "Live From Here" and is a regular performer on the show. This past summer, she was the sole opener for the entirety of the Punch Brothers' 34-stop North American tour. Her forthcoming full-length album follows the release of last year's EP, Love, Lose, Remember.
The Orange County, CA native first picked up a guitar at age seven, and by age twelve was singing and performing alongside her five siblings in church. By the age of fifteen, Cunningham realized songwriting was a passion she wanted to pursue, citing Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan as key inspirations. "It'd always been a hobby before, but around then, I realized I wanted to make it a religious practice," she says. "I thought if I could capture some of their same spirit ever in my life, I'd have to work hard and every day."
