Grammy winner: I cut school to seek out musicians
Daily Comfort ZoneDavid Krauss’s guest on Speaking Soundly is the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Madison Cunningham. Coming from an inward-looking pastoral family, she conducted the church choir at 17 and was scarred by the experience. ‘It sucked,’ she says, ‘they did not respect me at all… but I had a job to do and understood harmony. They were not very nice to me.’

Conductors don’t get respect. They earn respect.
Virtuosic guitarist?

In my opinion, a contemporary singer/songwriter who is comfortable in a meter other than 4/4 is already part of the 1% Club.
