Join us in the lobby beginning at 6:30pm for wine specials and an art exhibit by a local artist!

Madeleine Peyroux is an American-born jazz singer and songwriter who, much like Edith Piaf, spent her early days busking on the streets of Paris. In her teenage years, she sang vintage jazz and blues songs before being discovered by an Atlantic Records talent agent. She found mainstream success with her album Careless Love, now certified as an RIAA Gold selling album. Her thirst for creative exploration is unfading and her willingness to face creative challenges remains as solid now as it was three decades ago.

Thirty years after her formative busking days, she is the proud curator of nine enchanting studio albums and is an accomplished performer who has sold out worldwide tours. With endearing passion and great curiosity, the unstoppable, genre-defying virtuoso remains as iconic as ever.
