American songstress Madeleine Peyroux is heading back to our shores in March of 2012. The Frontier Touring Company have recently announced that Peyroux will be undertaking an Australian national tour and a New Zealand show.
March 2010 was the last time Madeleine was in Australia, as the special guest of Diana Krall. These shows were such a success that it has encouraged Madeleine to return for a run of headline shows in an announcement that has thrilled her Australian fans.
Standing On The Rooftop is Madeleine’s fifth solo album and was released in June 2011, this tour is to support and promote the CD. Standing On A Rooftop explores a new direction in Madeleine’s music, showcasing the success with which she can reinvent her sound as it combines elements of American roots sounds with her signature jazz inspired tone.

Fans can expect to be captivated by Madeleine’s exquisite voice as she belts out the unforgettable tracks from her well loved 2004 album Careless Love and Half The Perfect World from 2006.
This is what has been said about her remarkable talent in some very high profile places:
“… Ms. Peyroux … has branched out to refine an enigmatic, low-key personal style that is all her own.” – New York Times
“While her vocals have certainly earned her many fans, perhaps her truest gift is her impeccable taste in material.” – Paste Magazine
“The program is richly and elegantly painted with modern production touches even as its songs are rooted in the historical past of classic Americana.” – All Music

I devour books, vampires and supernatural creatures are my genre of choice but over the past couple of years, I have broadened my horizons considerably. In a nutshell – I love to write! I love interacting with a diverse range of artists to bring you interviews. Perhaps we were perfect before – I LOVE WORDS!
