Career Overview

About Maud Hixson

Hixson’s official biography identifies a Saint Paul-based vocalist devoted to the Great American Songbook and less frequently heard compositions. It connects that work to Twin Cities theater appearances and concert and cabaret programs in New York and London.[1]

The artist-run catalog spans seasonal programs, live recordings, songwriter-focused albums, and collaborations. Permanent Moonlight centers songs by Richard Rodney Bennett, while When Winter Comes provides a separate seasonal program released in 2025.[1][2]
