SUMMARY:MAUDE MAGGART
DESCRIPTION:Sat\, Feb. 1 (regular hours\,) and Sun.\, Feb. 2.  (Doors open at 6.  Show at 8.)  MAUDE MAGGART\, in “Strangers.” One of the privileges available to Gardenia patrons is witnessing the transformation of Miss Maggart’s shows.  This show\, presented freshly conceived at The Gardenia in September\, now returns fully mature\, burnished by a run at Birdland in Manhattan. \nAndrew Poretz\, writing about the Birdland performance for NiteLifeExchange\, had this to say about “Strangers:” \n““Love Song to a Stranger” (Joan Baez) was unlike anything this writer has ever experienced at Birdland. Here\, singing about how long it’s been since [Baez] shared her twin bed with a stranger\, Maggart sensually touched her face and hair and even the piano…. \n“A wonderful choice was “Werewolf” by Maggart’s Grammy Award-winning sister\, the pop star\, Fiona Apple.  Maggart paired “Werefolf” with Bonnie Rait’s song “Just Like That\,” the song that beat Apple’s at the 2023 Grammy Awards….Her rendition was tear-inducing for this reviewer.” \n“If only Strangers wasn’t a single outing by Maggart here in New York; it’s a show well worth seeing\, especially to search out if you’re planning an LA trip any time soon.” \nIn addition to her outings at The Gardenia and Birdland\, Miss Maggart has graced The Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel in New York\, attained national radio exposure by appearing with Garrison Keillor at the Town Hall broadcast of A Prarie Home Companion\, charmed Keillor so much that he invited her to appear with him again at The Hollywood Bowl\, appeared on the cover of Time Out New York\, and was the recipient of the Time Out New York MAC Award for “Special Achievement in Cabaret\,” AND the MAC Award for “Best Female Debut.”  In 2006\, she made her Carnegie Hall debut with Michael Feinstein\, sang with John Lithgow on his new children’s CD\, broke the summer attendance record at The Colony in Palm Beach\, sang with jazz great Dick Haymes and his orchestra at the Oregon Jazz Festival\, was listed by Entertainment Weekly as one of the top 100 Summer picks\, and participated in the filming of Bob Downey’s documentary on Kurt Weill.  She has also performed in London\, Chicago\, and Australia. Our favorite endorsement of her comes from Jim Bruce:  “If you have not yet heard Maude Maggart sing\, I envy you the moment of discovery because there is nothing quite like the very first time you realize what a talent she is.  Then again there is also nothing quite like every single time after.” \n

SUMMARY:MATT WATSON
DESCRIPTION:Sat.\, Feb. 8.  MATT WATSON.  Obsessed with harmonica since listening to his grandmother play her Hohner Vest Pocket Harp one Sunday afternoon\, Mr. Watson picked up a “10-hole Marine Band” harmonica at age 16\, and “couldn’t put it down\,” graduating to the “Super Chromonica” chromatic harmonica after hearing “Toots” Theileman play the theme song from Sesame Street on hers.  His obsession continuing\, he has played virtuoso harmonica with Leo LeBlanc\, Louis Lacayo\, Garrison White\, Wilson Picket\, The Commitments\, the Jamie Faunt Trio\, The Johnny Walker Blues Band\, The Horse Soldiers\, and Chad Watson (no relation.)  His work is heard on the CD’s Singing in the Valley (The Horse Soldiers\,) Blue to the Bone (Blue by Nature\,) and A Cowboy Christmas (Warner/Scotti Bros. Records.)  He is heard on the sound track for the motion picture The Return of the Killer Shrews\, and counts among his proudest moments performing with Country Music star Randy Travis at the 1993 Golden Boot Awards sponsored by the Motion Picture & Television Fund Foundation. \nAfter hearing his contributions to The Gardenia’s Open Mike nights\, our assessment is that Mr. Watson has the potential to do for the harmonica what Kenny G did for the saxophone:  bring the Vox Humana– like qualities of the instrument to “the masses\,” instilling a new appreciation for its range:  from Frontier aggression to jazz and the blues\, to a pianissimistic plaintive delicacy that can break your heart.  Who knew that amplified harmonica could be so affecting?  And aren’t we audience members lucky to be the beneficiaries of another man’s musical obsession?  Mr. Watson’s virtuosity is\, in fact\, stunning. \n
