Event Description
“Minnesota native Maud Hixson has gained notice for her smooth, velvet-lined voice and natural way with a lyric.” (Adam Feldman, Timeout New York)
Singer Maud Hixson made her New York debut in a one-woman cabaret show spotlighting the music of composer MIchael Leonard, thanks in part to a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. Her repertoire is focused on the works that enjoyed mainstream popularity in the early to mid-20th century. Her devotion to the songs of this era and her approach to performing prompted modern songwriting poet Amanda McBroom (“The Rose”) to observe: “I think she’s the new Peggy Lee.” In addition to her work in jazz, cabaret and concert venues, she makes her theatrical debut in March, 2010 in the Guthrie Theater’s upcoming presentation “Coward’s Women”.
