Biography
Corn Mo, born Jon Cunningham, surfaced late in the twentieth century as a sly, self-aware update to Tiny Tim, delivering heated performances that straddle vaudeville and cock rock while playing accordion and striking a floor cymbal.
A native of Denton, Texas, he began his career in 1991 by backing the Flying Couch Potatoes juggling group. He soon teamed with the elusive Mauve Oed for an independent cassette release. The pair parted ways by 1995, after which Corn Mo carried on alone.
Which? Records placed his track last on the late-nineties punk-inflected Show and Tell, its set of television theme covers. Alongside booking nights at Dallas’s Liquid Lounge, he earned notice for staging one-off telephone concerts tailored to individual listeners.
Once settled in New York City he served as musical director for the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, an alternative carnival of sideshow attractions that mixed gender-bending cowboys with tongue-in-cheek freak displays.
Denton-based Hot Link Records put out the thirteen-song collection I Hope You Win! in 2000.
