Doors 7:00PM, Showtime 8:00PMJUDY COLLINS has inspired audiences with
sublime vocals, boldly vulnerable songwriting, personal life triumphs,
and a firm commitment to social activism. In the 1960s, she evoked
both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united
against social and environmental injustices. Five decades later, her
luminescent presence shines brightly as new generations bask in the
glow of her iconic 50-album body of work, and heed inspiration from
her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a
century.
The award-winning singer-songwriter is esteemed for her imaginative
interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk standards and her
own poetically poignant original compositions. Her stunning rendition
of Joni Mitchell's “Both Sides Now” from her landmark 1967
album, _Wildflowers_, has been entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
Judy’s dreamy and sweetly intimate version of “Send in the
Clowns,” a ballad written by Stephen Sondheim for the Broadway
musical _A Little Night Music,_won "Song of the Year” at the 1975
Grammy Awards. She’s garnered several top-ten hits gold- and
platinum-selling albums. Recently, contemporary and classic artists
such as Rufus Wainwright, Shawn Colvin, Dolly Parton, Joan Baez, and
Leonard Cohen honored her legacy with the album _Born to the Breed: A
Tribute to Judy Collins_.
Judy began her impressive music career at 13 as a piano prodigy
dazzling audiences performing Mozart's “Concerto for Two Pianos,”
but the hardluck tales and rugged sensitivity of folk revival music by
artists such as Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger seduced her away from a
life as a concert pianist. Her path pointed to a lifelong love affair
with the guitar and pursuit of emotional truth in lyrics. The focus
and regimented practice of classical music, however, would be a source
of strength to her inner core as she navigated the highs and lows of
the music business.
In 1961, she released her masterful debut, _A Maid of Constant
Sorrow, _which featured interpretative works of social poets of the
time such as Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, and Tom Paxton. This began a
wonderfully fertile thirty-five year creative relationship with Jac
Holzman and Elektra Records. Around this time Judy became a tastemaker
within the thriving Greenwich Village folk community, and brought
other singer-songwriters to a wider audience, including poet/musician
Leonard Cohen – and musicians Joni Mitchell and Randy Newman.
Throughout the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and up to the present, she has
remained a vital artist, enriching her catalog with critically
acclaimed albums while balancing a robust touring schedule.
Prolific as ever, Judy recorded a DVD special _Judy Collins: A Love
Letter To Stephen Sondheim, _in her hometown of Denver, CO. Along
with the Greely Philharmonic Orchestra, Judy dazzled the audience with
Sondheim’s beautiful songs and her lovely, radiant voice. DVD and
CD companion will be released in early 2017. Judy also released a
collaborative album in June 2016, _Silver Skies Blue_, with writing
partner, Ari Hest. _Silver Skies Blue _has been GRAMMY nominated for
BEST FOLK ALBUM in 2017, this is the first GRAMMY nomination for
Collins in over 40 years.
On September 18, 2015, Judy released _Strangers Again_. She invited
a cast of icons and young talents to sing with her on this fresh
collection, from Willie Nelson, Jackson Browne and Jeff Bridges to
Glen Hansard, Ari Hest and Bhi Bhiman. Judy delicately soars over a
revitalized “Send In The Clowns” and breathes new life into
“Hallelujah.” She puts her indelible touch on songs by Leonard
Bernstein, Randy Newman, James Taylor and more.
In 2012, she released the CD/DVD _Judy Collins Live At The
Metropolitan Museum Of Art _which aired on PBS. This special
television program was nominated for a New York Emmy and won a Bronze
Medal at the 2013 New York Festival International Television & Film
Awards. Based on it’s success, in 2014 she filmed another
spectacular show in Ireland at Dromoland Castle_. Live In Ireland
_was released in 2014. This program also won a Bronze Medal at the
2014 New York Festival International Television & Film Awards and the
program will broadcast on PBS in 2014 and 2015.
