Storytelling In Jazz, Cabaret
Celebrating Doris Day's 102nd birthday and her career, from her first hit during WWII with the song Sentimental Journey, through her second career in movies, starring in musical comedies like Pillow Talk and dramas such as the Alfred Hitchcock classic The Man Who Knew Too Much.

Hailed as “gently virtuosic” (All About Jazz), singer Maud Hixson is a devoted exponent of great songs, ranging from the classic Great American Songbook to the often unsung or forgotten compositions awaiting rediscovery. Maud is the recipient of four Artist Initiative grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board. Maud received a Next Step Grant from the McKnight Foundation in 2015 and her most recent Artist Initiative Grant funded a big band project in 2017. After her Chicago debut in 2017, the Chicago Tribune’s Howard Reich proclaimed, “Hixson stood out as the biggest revelation at the Chicago Cabaret Convention”. Her newest recording, Permanent Moonlight: Songs of Sir Richard Rodney Bennett was released in September. In October, she made her third appearance at Jazz at Lincoln Center as part of Rex Reed's tribute to Doris Day.
“Her vocal style is so warm, compelling and intimate—it’s clear she cares about the words and telling the story, with clarity and without artifice—almost a lost art these days.” --Michael Feinstein
