axine Linehan grew up in County Cork, Ireland in a family that embraced the heartwarming, toe
tapping music of the sixties. Music from that era was always playing at home and in the car
with “Downtown” becoming the signature song for her Mum. As a young adult she moved to
New York City to follow her passion for music and live performance and following a study of
Petula Clark’s remarkable career, staged an acclaimed tribute to her in 2009. Maxine was inundated with
requests to make a recording following the show and so her debut album, “What Would Petula Do?”
was born. Produced by Andrew Koss and Gerald Stocksill the CD will be released in the Summer of 2011.
An accompanying tour of the US and Europe will support the CD release with performances
that will include many of the album cuts, additional songs from that classic period and a selection of Maxine’s new original compositions.
