Jazz vocalist/arranger Madeline Dalton is a modern, ambitious woman with timeless elegance. She can channel classic Judy Garland films with her warm, spinny vibrato and bring the house down with a powerhouse high belt à la Kelly Clarkson. As an arranger, Dalton focuses on contemporary female writers like Sara Bareilles, Chappell Roan, and Billie Eilish, putting their songs into a musical palette typically dominated by men. By bringing the work of trailblazing female singer-songwriters into conversation with jazz, Dalton creates space for young women to hear their stories represented in a genre that has largely excluded them.
