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 breathtaking melodies that linger long after they are sung.

       

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, and is the result of three years of soul-digging, experimentation, and fine-tuning - Madeleine has poured over every word. Nerve, the album created in the process (out August 2024 on Birthday Cake Records) is her sophomore release, and 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. It 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). 

       

She has toured extensively across Canada, Europe, and the UK, sharing her music live at the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Shetland Island Folk Festival, Vancouver Island Music Festival, Stan Rogers Folk Festival, Summerfolk Festival of Arts and Crafts, among 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. 

English Songwriter of the Year nominee (2020 Canadian Folk Music Awards)
Producer of the Year nominee (2019 Western Canadian Music Awards)

“These are devastating songs - beautiful music from Winnipeg’s Madeleine Roger” - Tom Power, Q on CBC

​

“Many years ago I shared a band house with touring artists. For a week, I shared a kitchen table and living room with Joni Mitchell, who sang songs and wrote words on paper. I got goose bumps listening to those words and songs. A lifetime later and I’m getting the same goosebumps from a new album Nerve from Winnipeg’s Madeleine Roger. These songs and this singer deserves to be heard  - by everyone.”
- Terry David Mulligan, CKUA
