Madeleine Roger (she/her) is a singer-songwriter from Winnipeg, Canada. While skillfully accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, it is her artistry as a songwriter that can silence a room, uniting her lyrical prowess with a breathtaking voice that lingers long after the last note.

       Her newest collection of songs is a deeply personal body of work examining every nook and cranny of love and loss. It is unflinchingly honest - Madeleine has poured over every word, and the mastery of her craft shows. Nerve, the album created in the process (out August 2024 on Birthday Cake Records) was produced by Josh Kaufman (Anaïs Mitchell, Bob Weir, Bonny Light Horseman) and recorded in four days in Kingston NY by engineer D. James Goodwin (The National, Fruit Bats, The Hold Steady). Nerve is an uplifting gut-punch; an uninhibited account of risk, longing, regret, grief, and love. It touches the exposed nerve left over from a breakup with a long-term lover and musical collaborator, the death of a soul-friend, the secret of an unrequited love, months of caring for a dying grandparent, and finding a curious peace in spite of it. Madeleine bravely exposes the delicate and private moments in life that are universal and sets them adrift on melodies and arrangements that make us feel like nothing is insurmountable. 

       She has toured extensively for over a decade across Canada, the US, Europe, and the UK performing live at the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Shetland Island Folk Festival (UK), Vancouver Island Music Festival, Stan Rogers Folk Festival, Wintergrass Festival (US), among many others. She is also a regular collaborator with JUNO award winning string quartet The Fretless, appearing with them in performances and on recordings as a vocalist and co-writer.
