NORA MCINERNY
Nora McInerny is the best-selling author of the memoirs It's Okay To Laugh (Crying Is Cool Too), No Happy Endings, and The Hot Young Widows Club. Her newest collection of essays Bad Vibes Only, forthcoming from Simon & Schuster in October 2022, is a response to a society that requires our best vibes even on our worst days. It's a reminder that sometimes it is just not possible to live, laugh and love in these conditions (and that’s okay). In essays that revisit her cringey past and anticipate her rapidly approaching future, Nora lays bare her own chaos, inviting us to drop the facade of perfection and embrace the truth: that we are all -- at best -- slightly unhinged.

MADISON CUNNINGHAM
Madison Cunningham is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. Rolling Stone described her music as "a new spin on West Coast folk-rock," and her latest album Revealer, set to release in September 2022, is full of confessions, intimations, and hard truths the Los Angeles based singer-songwriter has learned over her tenure in the music industry. Her past albums titled Who You Are Now and Wednesday (Extended Version) were nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Americana Album and Best Folk Album respectively. She has also toured with Andrew Bird, and feels her songwriting soars when she allows herself to be confident in her idiosyncrasies. Website • Listen
