Maud Hixson is a singer of classic jazz and popular songs of the 20th century, based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. She became a full-time musician after being presented as Best New Voice at the KBEM Winter Jazz Fest in Minneapolis in 2003, and now works with a variety of musicians, including the continental sextet French 75, which she founded with clarinetist Tony Balluff.
She made her Guthrie Theater debut in Cowards Women in 2010 with singer Erin Schwab, performed at the New York Cabaret Convention in 2011 at Lincoln Centers Rose Hall, and in 2012 appeared in concert with composer and pianist Richard Rodney Bennett as part of the Midtown Jazz Series in New York. A two-time recipient of the Artist Initiative grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, she launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund her latest recording, Dont Let A Good Thing Get Away. The first album devoted to the music of Broadway composer Michael Leonard, with arrangements by pianist Tex Arnold, the CD also features bassist Steve LaSpina, cornetist Warren Vaché, and guitarist Gene Bertoncini. Recorded at Nola Recording Studios in Steinway Hall, New York City, the CD was released in 2013 and placed in the Minneapolis StarTribunes Twin Cities Critics Tally of the best recordings of the year. Most recently she made her European debut in London, presented by Claire Martin, OBE at the Crazy Coqs (formerly Chez Cup of the Regent Palace Hotel). She is also the recipient of a 2015 Next Step Grant from the McKnight Foundation.
