Details

Madeleine Peyroux is the type of timeless and expressive singer who transports listeners with the emotionality of her performance.

She found mainstream success in 2004 when her album Careless Love hit and she’s celebrating that album and the songs collected on it in her ‘Careless Love Forever’ world tour, coming to Australia in March 2023.

Much like songbird Edith Piaf, Peyroux spent her teenage years busking the busy streets of Paris. Just like the ‘little sparrow’, Madeleine befriended the city’s street musicians and made its Latin quarter her first performing stage. Years later, Peyroux would cite iconic Piaf as an influence on her music and record a rendition of the classic La Vie En Rose, soulfully capturing the tune’s romanticism and melancholy.

Born in Athens, Georgia in 1974, Madeleine ‘grew up in a house filled with music’ and from an early age ‘instinctively realised 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.

With her dusky, lyrical style and affinity for reinterpreting classic jazz, blues, and folk standards, vocalist Madeleine Peyroux is a highly acclaimed, internationally recognized artist.
