Tonight at The Ridgefield Playhouse...Madeleine Peyroux --- Tonight, Tuesday, June 23rd at 8:00 p.m. The smokey vocals of Madeleine Peyroux are coming to The Ridgefield Playhouse with her earthy new album called Bare Bones. Peyroux has achieved critical success with her signature "postmodernist coolness" (LA Times). The New York Times has praised Peyroux as having "a Mona Lisa voice and a personality to match....you can read whatever emotions you want in her sly, enigmatic interpretations."
Working with the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Peyroux will donate $1 from each ticket sold to a local charity through the NCADV. This is not the first time Peyroux has raised money while out on tour, having done similar fundraisers on her past 5 North American tours.
