JUDY COLLINS IN CONCERT
Straight from her critically acclaimed six-week performance at Café Carlyle – Judy Collins’ legendary voice will fill the intimate setting of New York City’s Town Hall Theatre on Friday, May 16 at 8 pm.
Few singers have the staying power of folk icon Judy Collins. For more than 45 years, Collins has thrilled audiences worldwide with her unique blend of interpretative folksongs and contemporary themes – her dulcet tones gracing our ears, her poetic lyrics galvanizing a generation. Stephen Holden, New York Times observes, "... Her voice, clear and vibrato free but inflected with delicate little shivers, [creates an] impulse to turn your head up, close your eyes and tune in to messages from far, far away."
Collins is known worldwide for her music and lyric performances. Her rendition of Both Sides Now has been entered into the Grammy’s Hall of Fame. Her version of Send in the Clowns won Song of the Year at the 1975 Grammy Awards. Collins’ more contemporary songs have included the poignant and haunting Wings of Angels. Judy Collins continues to create music of hope and healing that lights up the world and speaks to the heart.
Opening for Ms Collins will be singer/songwriter Amy Speace, who has already won a loyal grass-roots fan base, thanks in large part to live performances that merge warmth, humor and emotional immediacy, and to a tireless touring schedule that's already taken her across the United States. The Village Voice observed that Speace is "taking her Americana away from twangy contemplation toward tangy confrontation" and noting that she's "not another of those breathy would-be child poets, but a real singing writer of songs." While Music Row’s renowned Nashville critic, Robert K. Oermann, dubbed her a "new star."
