Peyroux has released four albums featuring a blend of jazz, roots music and blues. She's toured with Lilith Fair and shared a bill with Nina Simone. Until her most recent album, Bare Bones (released this month), her Billie Holiday-esque sound blossomed with a repertoire primarily consisting of standards. Recently, Peyroux has come into her own as a songwriter whose melancholy lilt is brightened with some lightheartedness. There's no denying that her vocal inflections and delicate sound can seem to channel Billie Holiday, writes Nashville Scene, but even on Peyrouxs 1996 debut Dreamland her unorthodox treatment of 'I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter' with loping oom-pah harpsichord and ethereally wandering slide guitar might have tipped us off that this was not another American Songbook diva. Another daughter of music royalty, Lucy Wainwright Roche, takes the stage two weeks later. Roche and French-American chanteuse Madeleine Peyroux perform back-to-back sets. With a voice NPR describes as sincere and raw, at times, recalling Joni Mitchell and Patti Griffin, Roche is forging her own singer-songwriter path with an endearing simplicity. Her clear as a bell (The New York Times) vocals and acoustic guitar provide perfect-for-the mountain setting, refreshingly pure folk music.
