An Evening with Madeleine Peyroux

about

Curtain Warmer: Mary O'Keefe and Guests Cynthia Taylor and Jennifer Novak-Haar With echoes of songbird Édith Piaf, Madeleine Peyroux spent her teenage years busking the busy streets of Paris. You can now hear those influences in her intimate, laidback style of folk-pop songwriting coupled with spellbinding jazz. Audiences can expect to hear tunes from her album Anthem, classics from her extensive back catalogue, originals and much-loved covers.

Born in Athens, Georgia in 1974, Madeleine “grew up in a house filled with music” and from an early age “instinctively realized music’s soothing power,” but it was her teenage years in the French capital that turned the childhood notion into an all-consuming vocation for life.

Young Madeleine moved to Paris with her mother in 1987 following her parents divorce. “To soothe me during the upheaval”, she recalls, “I was given a guitar and took to playing in the streets almost immediately.”

Madeleine Peyroux’s performances convey thought-provoking reflections on country, self and everything in between. Spending much of her thirty-year career on the road, “touring has become part of my make up” says the celebrated musician. Her trio, The Dreamers, creates a lavish bed for Madeleine’s sultry brand of torch song vocals and self-styled guitar playing, effortlessly melding romance and modernism, early blues, jazz and rock and roll.
