MAXINE LINEHAN
RELEASES
A NEW HOLIDAY SEASON MASH-UP
FOR THE AGES
“CHRISTMAS CANDY”

AVAILABLE NOW!

LISTEN TO CHRISTMAS CANDY HERE.

New York, NY (December 9, 2022) – International concert and recording artist Maxine Linehan has released a brand new single just in time for the holiday season. “Christmas Candy” draws on an array of classic and contemporary Christmas tunes, mashing-up of Sia’s 2017 hit “Candy Cane Lane” and “It’s a Marshmallow World,” made famous by Bing Crosby’s 1950 recording, while making reference and paying homage to a number of other familiar holiday songs. “Christmas Candy” features an arrangement by Musical Director Ryan Shirar and was produced by Andrew Koss at The Studio at Strawberry Fields Lane.

“There is something utterly timeless about the holiday season, steeped in tradition and constantly evolving into something new,” says Maxine. “Something about the way this track mixes something old with something new makes it feel both reverent and fresh in all the best ways. I think it’s just about impossible to listen to it without smiling.”

“Christmas Candy” is now available on all digital platforms. To download, click here.

Late next year, Linehan will be touring venues across the U.S. with her critically acclaimed holiday show. The complete tour schedule will be announced later. In 2021 Linehan released her holiday album, This Time of Year. It was produced by Andrew Koss, music directed and arranged by Ryan Shirar, co-written by Grammy Award nominee Felix McTeigue (title track), mixed by multi-Grammy winner Kevin Killen, and mastered by multi-Grammy winner Bob Ludwig.

An internationally acclaimed concert and recording artist, Linehan is an interpretive artist that uses popular songbooks and theatrical presentations to share intimate truths and build communal bonds. The Irish performer, singer, writer, producer, and actress fuses dialogue, autobiographical story arcs, and specific artist song collections for transformative concert experiences. Although Southern Vermont- based, Linehan performs in world famous venues around the globe, as well as intimate settings. Her repertoire is refreshingly eclectic – to date, she’s interpreted the songbooks of such varied artists as U2, Petula Clark, and Barbra Streisand.

Maxine’s first studio album, Beautiful Songs, was awarded a Top Ten pick by USA Today, and garnered rave reviews in The New York Times, Billboard, The Huffington Post, and others. Her acclaimed debut holiday album This Time of Year, was described by Forbes as “Lush and Mesmerizing’ and by The Irish Voice as “A Sonic Marvel!”
