Madeleine Peyroux Sings 'Secular Hymns' In New Album
Madeleine Peyroux and her trio recently released a live album called "Secular Hymns." SHERVIN LAINEZ
By GABBIE WATTS • 9 HOURS AGO
After playing at a Michelin-starred restaurant, Madeleine Peyroux and her band stumbled into a 12th-century French church.
“It had this immediate effect on me,” said Peyroux in an interview with Lois Reitzes. “You don’t have the opportunity to go in a 12th-century church in America.”
Oddly enough, it was living internationally that led to her appreciation of American music – from Billie Holiday to Bob Dylan.
Born in Athens, Georgia, Madeleine Peyroux, her mother and brother moved to Brooklyn when she was about 5. Then, the trio moved to Paris, where Madeleine spent her adolescence.
