Judy Collins has inspired audiences with sublime vocals, boldly vulnerable songwriting, personal triumphs, and social activism. In the 1960s, she evoked both the idealism and 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.

The award-winning singer-songwriter is esteemed for her imaginative interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk standards and her own poignant original compositions. She’s garnered several top-ten hits and 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.
