Madeleine Peyroux

Expand

Born in Athens (Georgia), a university and Bohemian city, also home of R.E.M., Madeleine Peyroux grew up listening to the sounds of New Orleans and sought a life as a teenager in the Latin neighborhood of Paris.

With such credentials, it was almost inevitable that she would direct her steps towards the practice of jazz, but what was not so predictable was that she would do so by so successfully emulating the precepts of Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith, Patsy Cline and Édith Piaf.

The American singer, guitarist and composer deploys her story with the integrity of the classics, and has a brilliant discography that combines originals and covers.
