Kauffman Center Presents Madeleine Peyroux and Paula Cole

Thursday, September 30, 2021 at 7 p.m.Helzberg Hall | Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts Madeleine Peyroux brings her distinctive blend of swing-era jazz, country, blues, gospel and other acoustic forms to the Helzberg Hall stage as she performs tracks from her hit Careless Love album. The album, which took only three months to create, debuted in 2004 and sold 500,000 copies within its first year. In contrast to her first album in 1996, Careless Love conveys a mature, emotional depth and highlights Peyroux’s rhythmic pliability.  In 1996, Paula Cole released her self-produced, second album This Fire. It was incendiary, a double-platinum smash. The first single, Where Have All The Cowboys Gone? catapulted to the Top 10. Cole is a seven-time Grammy nominee and was the first woman to be nominated as Producer of the Year with no collaborators. Her second single, the anthemic I Don’t Want to Wait dominated charts for a year and then lived again as the well-loved theme-song for Dawson’s Creek. Paula Cole joins Madeleine Peyroux in the celebration of Peyroux’s breakthrough album, Careless Love. Two legends, two legendary albums—on tour together. Tickets range from $39 to $69 plus applicable fees and go on sale 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 6.
