Madeleine Peyroux - Presented By F7 Live

On April 9, 2026, at The Studio, 1 Summers Lane in Hamilton, Madeleine Peyroux brings a set that draws a clear line between jazz, blues, folk and chanson. Born in Athens, Georgia and raised between the US and France, she found her voice as a teenager in Paris, singing in the street and touring with the Lost Wandering Blues and Jazz Band. That start shaped a repertoire where standards, finely picked covers and original songs talk to each other. From her debut Dreamland (1996) to Careless Love (2004) and its readings of Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, then Half the Perfect World and Bare Bones, she has built a songbook that puts words and space at the center. Later albums like Standing on the Rooftop, The Blue Room, Secular Hymns and Anthem keep that balance, often crafted with musicians anchored in American jazz traditions. Live, expect supple phrasing, unhurried tempos and close-up dynamics, with arrangements that leave room for the grain of the voice. Familiar tunes reframed alongside originals, in a set that favors intimacy over shine.
