Judy Collins has thrilled audiences worldwide with her unique blend of interpretative folk songs and contemporary themes. Her career has spanned more than 40 years. At 13, Judy made her public debut performing Mozart’s Concerto for Two Pianos. But it was the music of such artists as Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, as well as the traditional songs of the folk revival, that sparked Judy’s love of lyrics. She soon moved away from the classical piano and began her lifelong love affair with the guitar. In 1961, Judy released her first album, A Maid of Constant Sorrow, at the age of 22 and began a thirty-five year association with Jac Holzman and Elektra Records. She is also noted for her rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” on her classic 1967 album, Wildflowers. “Both Sides Now” has since been entered into the Grammy’s Hall of Fame. Winning “Song of the Year” at the 1975 Grammy’s Awards show was Judy’s version of “Send in the Clowns.” Judy released Paradise in 2010 and Bohemian in 2011. In 2016, she delivered Silver Skies Blue with Ari Hest. She continues to tour the globe.
