| BIRDLAND JAZZ CLUB PRESENTS THE RETURN OF CELEBRATED CABARET LUMINARY MAUDE MAGGART IN HER NEW SHOW "STRANGERS" MONDAY, OCTOBER 28 "Ms. Maggart is the most emotional and vulnerable singer you're likely to experience anywhere." – The Wall Street Journal BIRDLAND JAZZ CLUB will present the return of the singular cabaret artist Maude Maggart in the premiere of her new show "Strangers" on Monday, October 28 at 7:00 PM. Through songs ranging from the obscure to the collectively beloved – from the mid-19th century and Rodgers & Hammerstein to The McGarrigle Sisters and current material – Maggart will present a new show that weaves the music, history, people, and mystery that we might call "strangers." She will be joined by Gerald Sternbach on piano and Yair Evnine on cello and guitar. There is a $40 music charge. Birdland is located at 315 West 44th Street in New York. Maude Maggart was born and raised in New York City and began her singing career in West Hollywood at Tom Rolla's Gardenia, the legendary cabaret and launching pad of her mentors, Andrea Marcovicci and Michael Feinstein. Since her debut in 2001, Maude has gained a loyal following and critical acclaim, performing across the United States and Europe; notably at Cafe Carlyle and her longtime yearly engagement at The Oak Room of The Algonquin Hotel. Maude has been the featured performer in a multitude of orchestral performances, including The Oregon Festival of American Music, led by legendary bandleader Dick Hyman; "Standard Time," Michael Feinstein's concert series at Carnegie Hall; the national live radio broadcast of "A Prairie Home Companion" with Garrison Keillor, at both Town Hall in New York City, and at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. She has also performed at the "Decades Ball" annual gala; at the Allen Room at Lincoln Center with Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks, and had the honor to sing for Dr. Cornel West's celebration at Princeton University. On film, Maude can be seen in the Johnny Mercer documentary for TCM, This Time the Dream's on Me, directed by Clint Eastwood. She was also one of the guest stars of the PBS television series "The American Songbook." Maude has received awards for excellence from Time Out New York, The Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs, and Backstage Magazine. She has been the subject of NPR's "Morning Edition," and is a favorite of radio personality Jonathan Schwartz. Maude has recorded songs with such luminaries as John Lithgow, David Lucky, Molly Ryan, Ray Jessel, Brent Spiner, and is featured on her sister Fiona Apple's Grammy Award-winning album Fetch the Bolt Cutters.
