The wildly talented folk musician trusts aged nylon strings, rubber bridges, and some choice pedals on the road.

California singer-songwriter Madison Cunningham earned her first Grammy nomination in 2019, when she was just 23. A few years later, at 26, she won the Grammy for Best Folk Album, for her 2022 record Revealer. Last year, she released her latest collection, Ace, her third with the storied label Verve Forecast.

Back in March, PG’s John Bohlinger met up with Cunningham for this new Rig Rundown at Third Man Records in Nashville, ahead of her show in the label’s Blue Room.
