Counterfeit Madison

Opposable Thumbs

Anyway

Counterfeit Madison is the musical manifestation of Columbus, Ohio resident Sharon Udoh. She is a versatile artist; her funky yet classical piano-playing and gospel-tinged voice peppered with the occasional bursts of ecstasy make for an experience that is often described as surpassing genre in the warmest and most welcoming of ways.   Her magnetic performances and poignant song-writing leave you with goosebumps, tears, a soulful two-step, and everything in between. Intelligently unpretentious, emotionally explorative, and powerfully vulnerable, Counterfeit Madison is simply unforgettable.  “A follower sent me a link to this ridiculously talented songwriter. Try the third tune, “Don’t Cry Wolf,” first, then dig into the rest. Wow, wow. Expect to hear more from Counterfeit Madison, I’d guess.” -John Darnielle
