I've been waiting for new music from Winnipeg's Madeleine Roger for four years.

That's how long it's been since I discovered her voice, playing and gifted songwriting.

Maddy took a solo career detour through the stellar chops of The Fretless.

They needed an exceptional vocalist who understood and was comfortable with, classical music.

Madeleine needed a different "band" to shine with. Perfect!

So here we are in early September and both artists are releasing new albums.

Madeleine has just released NERVE a new album filled with tales of lost love and found freedoms.

Produced by Josh Kaufman (Anais Mitchell, Bonnie Light Horseman) Recorded in four days. They threw away the headphones and sat 8 feet apart..making music.

There are actually four extra songs waiting to be released.

I am here to state – in my opinion - an exceptional new star has risen – her name is Madeleine Roger.

Enjoy the complete interview and the music included.
