Judy Collins is an award-winning singer-songwriter, 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.

In the 1960s, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. As a speaker and author of her most recent title, the memoir Sweet Judy Blue Eyes: My Life in Music, Judy reaches deeply inside and, with unflinching candor, recalls her turbulent childhood, her epic victories over depression and alcoholism, extraordinary rise to fame, and her redemption through embracing a healthy and stable lifestyle. Judy continues to create music of hope and healing, that lights up the world and speaks to the heart.
