In 2026, Madeleine Peyroux marks the tenth anniversary of her album Secular Hymns and the thirtieth anniversary of her breakthrough recording Dreamland—the milestone that carried her from a teenage busker on the streets of Paris to the world’s concert halls.

On the We Are America tour, she reunites the intimate trio behind Secular Hymns—bassist Barak Mori and guitarist Jon Herington—for a program of originals and reimagined songs, old and new, but entirely American—from Allen Toussaint, Judy Collins, Bessie Smith, and Bob Dylan to Peyroux’s own soul-baring originals.

Engaging audiences from Tucson to Quebec, Boise to New York, Peyroux describes the tour as “a candid, ongoing conversation with a loyal community brought together by the power of music,” adding, “My music and these performances are part of a dialogue."
