Wholly unique with echoes of Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon. Stunning song and performance.

I have been in total awe of her writing for a few months now. She is incredible

This is a recording from the show I saw live on Saturday night. I tuned the piano for the show and as I was walking offstage, I passed by this artist, Madison Cunningham. She was rehearsing just off stage. I was WOWED by her voice. I am so happy I heard her voice from two feet away, live without a microphone. Absolutely beautiful. As I passed by I said something outloud under my breath like "that's incredible" because her voice struck me so.

Melody isn't dead after all.

Just casually Shaun Martin on the keys... Anyway absolutely fantastic, Madison has very quickly become one of my most favourite new artists I absolutely adore everything, the voice, the guitar work, the song writing, the confidence outstanding

"Song In My Head," is now stuck in my head. Very well-written, catchy tune, and a great performance.

How can you not love her?

I watched Madison grow up in our home church, so happy to see her gifts growing.. She's a natural! 🌹

This girl defines “total package.” Love this song. Reminds me in places of Joni, and like Joni, Madison is helping reshape the singer/songwriter.

I love this so way beyond. So full of energy and confidence. A voice so delicate but honestly powerful. I am left in a world beyond hovering above space and time. Wow, what a great performance.

Just when I think I have a favorite MC song, she defies all expectations. Amazing.

She’s playing lead guitar and sings like an Angel.

Madison is a treasure. Haven't been this excited about anyone since Patty Griffin or all of I'm With Her.

oh man this is good. I watched it three times in a row and i think I started crying a little.

First time i have heard Ms Cunningham. Will not be the last as she is obviously very special indeed.

Love this version - not a wasted note and clearly the mandolin player is loving the groove (and providing some nice vocal support)

I'm sitting in my car this morning and I start to play with the radio. This song, this very broadcast (a rebroadcast, in fact!), is playing on my favorite NPR station, KRCC, and I'm lucky enough to get to listen to it, uninterrupted. I love it.

Sooo Good! She has great groove and a beautiful effortless voice. Anything she does will sound great solo. She doesn't need anyone. But with a host of other great talent around her...just kicks it to the next level. I am a fan!

I listened to this while sitting in the grueling traffic of the 405, and I was so, so happy.

I can’t believe y’all are going away. In any country that respects art the way it should, putting together this performance alone earns you three years of NEA funding. It’s truly golden and if there’s any way I can pay you to download it (don’t worry, I already own the album) I will.

So refreshing to hear a female singer from today who isn’t copying that airy- throaty hipster cafe Sarah McLachlan thing that nearly everyone from the last 5 years has been repeating ad nauseam

Love this song, love Madison and this version with the fiddle and slide is so good

She's incredible

Amazing show, I was there and still great to see the clip. Madison is the real deal.

her voice flying in my head. your new fans

any musicians curious as to what she’s doing, read below the basics of what I’ve tried to figure out! The song starts in Bb major, following simple chords, I think using the I IV V and VI. It then changes keys to Ab major and eventually back to Bb major. The crazy part that made me an instant fan is when she changes from Bb major to F Mixolydian!!! The exact same notes, just a different note that sounds like “home”. Blows my mind. This part happens right before she rips the solo. The chords are F major, C minor, Eb major, repeat. Those chords are all in Bb but they sound like F mixolydian because it starts on F!

The instant I heard this when it was broadcast, I went and pre-ordered Madison Cunningham's new album. I was going to buy it anyway, but hearing this song convinced me that I needed it ASAP.

John Mayer mentioned this artist, now I'm here and I like it!

Such a beautiful story and a sweet, soulful melody. The way you glide through sections/transitions is mesmerizing.

This show desperately needs to come back so artists like this have a platform.

Madison and Chris is just a match made in heaven and then Madisons songwriting which is possibly the best since John Lennon. Respect.

always wonderful

AMAZING... FANTASTIC... I am hooked

Clear, fresh & soulful.🌷🙏🏼🌷 Appreciation & Thank you.

She is so great !

Her voice

There's a song in my head Oh, a line that never stops playing I'm not sure how it ends I can't remember when I heard what you were saying I'll make the best out of the worst I'll make up half the words and wear a t-shirt of a band I've never heard Because it hurts to be on the outside looking in Well, I do my best to listen But I'm uncomfortable with too much silence From the passenger seat you said "What does that mean?" I said "I'm learning to live with the violence, violence" But I'm not the kind that Wants to be lost I don't want to be forgotten I don't want to pretend That it's alright I want to see these walls Crumble and dissolve around I got my golden diploma wearing a square crown The Class of '14 wore their capes like a reverend's gown All that education won't help us now Attending funerals and watching friends break their vows There's not much that I can protect So I keep my good humor alive Nothing disturbs your intellect Like the feeling of something you can't deny Justified I don't want to be lost I don't want to be forgotten I don't want to pretend That it's alright I want to see these walls Crumble and dissolve around me Saturday morning, 11 a.m. Heard mom and dad talking money again Fit a seven-person family in a five-seater van I guess all you can do is the best that you can Dad pushed it all down like the Gibson in his hand To finish that song that never had a name I can still hear that song In my head (In my head) Information, education, giving and love Questions, guidance, that's sugar in my blood Holding together what's meant to fall apart Justify the reason for the way things are I don't want to be lost I don't want to be forgotten I've got reason to believe That I just might Watch this city's walls Crumble and dissolve around me I'm not afraid, afraid to lose It's a voice that I can't refuse Maybe I don't have the right to choose what calls my name

New artist discovery! Love this! Wow!!

This is so much better than the album version

Thank you...you are great

Damn I miss that show. Madisons a killer! :)

Incredible!

So many good people over so many years, I thought of Tom Rush for some reason listening to this, I guess it's knowing when a memory is being made.

excellent- flicking eventful tune well done

Madison Cunningham's voice and tone is so interesting and unique. At the same time though, it reminds me of Harriet Wheeler (the Sundays), and and Nellie McKay.

man i am so suprised to see ryan scott here!! dude rips it up

Spectacular

My fav with "Pin it down" :-)

A van mawi tak!

She reminds me so much of Joni Mitchell!

она просто великолепна

As of this comment, 7 people have clicked thumbs down on this and have revealed what utter uncultured swine they are. Sigh. Sigh. Madison Cunningham is amazing. As a songwriter, singer and musician, completely top notch. This song in particular is one of my favorites. Amazing.

Would love to see her and Blake Mills do a song together

What guitar is she playing?

She sounds just like Ingrid Michelson....

Im hearing some pure Crowded House at 4:00

👍

mm, mmm, mmm~ "Ooh" all over!

C'mon MILJ

She is so consistent, it is kinda crazy. We are all the mandolin guy, just tripping on this amazing artist 👏👏👏
