The Foxgloves are an all-female Americana
band from the Twin Cities featuring Maura Dunst
(Vocals/Fiddles/Mandolin), Liz DeYoe (Guitar), Steph Snow
(Vocals/Ukulele/Banjo), Nikki Lemire (Vocals/Harp), Sara
Tinklenberg (Vocals/Percussion), and Nyssa Krause (Bass). With
songs you won’t be able to stop humming. Their engaging presence,
rich instrumentation, compelling storytelling songwriting,
four-part harmonies, and creatively reimagined covers render them a
force to be reckoned with. This powerful band is making moves
you’ll want to witness. A little bit of country, a little bit of
folk, a little bit of classical, and a whole lot of heart — your
toes will tap of their own accord.
Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter Madison
Cunningham takes a literate, harmonically nuanced
approach to folk and pop music. She first grabbed attention with
the release of her debut EP Love, Lose,
Remember in 2017. Expanding upon her textured, sometimes
jazz-inflected indie folk, her first full-length album Who
Are You Now, arrived in 2019 and her sophomore album,
2022’s Revolver earned Cunningham her first
Grammy award for Best Folk Album. Rolling Stone describes
Cunningham’s sound as “a new spin on West Coast folk-rock, with
classical tendencies, electric guitars, jazz-school chord changes
and alt-rock strut all living beneath the same roof.” Her unique
melodies, elastic voice, honest storytelling, and deft approach to
the electric guitar, quickly earned her a dedicated fan base and
saw her open shows for notable artists like Harry Styles, Punch
Brothers, and Lake Street Dive.
This episode features recordings from The Foxgloves’ July 2022
performance and Madison Cunningham’s August 2022 performance under
the tent.
