Madison Cunningham & Andrew Bird
Part of Hancher's Infinite Dream festival
A new collaboration connecting two top-flight musicians.
Andrew Bird is an internationally acclaimed, Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, whistler, and songwriter. Since beginning his recording career in 1997, Bird has released 17 albums and performed extensively across the globe—including at Hancher as part of Mission Creek in 2017. Madison Cunningham is a 27-year-old songwriter and virtuoso guitarist whose music bursts with electrifying ideas about life and art. Cunningham’s 2022 release, Revealer, won the Grammy for Best Folk Album.
“Always introspective and often experimental, Madison Cunningham’s music doesn’t fit neatly into any one specific genre.” — Variety
“Bird’s lovely, lyrical playing has a sense of ascendent grace; it’s music that feels untethered to the weight of the world” — Pitchfork
