The chanteuse who started her performing career in the clubs of New York and Los Angeles , has exploded into one of today’s most compelling international concert artists. She has been hailed as “bewitching” by The New York Times, “utterly enchanting” by the New York Post, “stunning” by the Los Angeles Times and “transfixing” by New York Magazine.
Maude is the scion of an acclaimed show business family: grandmother starred in the George White Scandals of 1926, grandfather was the star vocalist for the famed Harry James Big Band, parents met while performing with Lauren Bacall in the Broadway musical Applause, and her sister is Fiona Apple.
Born and raised near 125th Street in New York City , Maude created a stir in Hollywood with her debut show at the Gardenia, when The Los Angeles Times said “Maude Maggart’s talent and imagination offer hope for the future of cabaret.” Fostered by Andrea Marcovicci and Michael Feinstein, Maude has performed at Feinstein’s in Manhattan, the Plush Room in San Francisco, the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, and the Savor Room in St. Louis.
“The audience at the Algonquin Hotel's Oak Room, one of New York's premier cabarets, fall to silence when Maude Maggart starts to sing from the Great American Songbook. She becomes the words and respects the melody to the note. Richard Rodgers, Jerome kern, Jimmy Van Heusen, and many of the iconic composers who created these melodies would be proud. She is, note for note, a faithful messenger of the great stuff.
At 32, she still looks like a girl. But the woman emerges on stage when she sings and, to a degree, when she speaks. For Maude Maggart, the songs are life itself, the reason for being alive, for falling in love, for risking
everything with a man who hastouched her heart."
