Her father’s illness had a big effect on her. He suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, which is a condition that affects memory and thinking. During this time, Judy also spent a season of her life living on the road. These life events shaped her not only as a person but also as an artist. They helped form her voice and the meaning behind her music.
With her current Trio, Judy works with two Grammy-winning musicians from the well-known group The Time Jumpers. Together, they created a rich sound using fiddle, upright bass, and acoustic guitar. The music feels warm, natural, and full of soul. It connects deeply with people because it is honest and real.
