Music That Lasts: Maude Maggart and the American Songbook

Maude Maggart went to her first cabaret show as a teen. “I’d never seen anything like it,” she says. “It was so magical and special, what could happen in a little room.” Since her own cabaret debut in 2001, the room has gotten much bigger. Maggart has played more than a few famous venues (e.g., Lincoln Center, the Hollywood Bowl, A Prairie Home Companion, New York’s Algonquin Hotel), gathered critical accolades, and wooed a large and incredibly loyal following. Beloved for her sensitive, intelligent interpretations as much as for her striking voice and out-of-time style, she brings fresh life to American songbook and cabaret classics. Joining Maggart for this hour-long concert is pianist John Boswell.

Wonderful to see a full-length show from Maude, especially for those of us in Europe! Maude, it's nearly 10 years since your last UK shows. Hoping you can visit London again soon!

How did I only hear her tonight for the first time? Lucky lucky night.

[@isobelanderson9220]

A voice so beautiful with bells in it plus history and humour - so glad to have found you.

[@pjk9056]

What a wonderful voice along with heartfelt interpretations. So delighted she's a mother! I saw her at Emelin Theater in NY about a decade ago. She wove her grandparents romance into the theme of her show. As I recall, her grandfather was a professional horn player and grandmother a singer/dancer. Both her parents were Broadway musical performers, and her sister (I feel) is a musical genius. DNA too precious not to pass along!
