Sitting with Judy Collins, the iconic folk legend, is exactly that. Beyond her public persona, Judy Collins’ career is filled with rare and intimate moments that reveal her artistry and devotion. These behind-the-scenes facets underscore Judy Collins not only as a masterful singer but as a thoughtful, meticulous, and profoundly connected artist. I first had the pleasure of briefly interviewing Judy at 4th & B, a San Diego venue that no longer exists. Together, we experienced the joy, elegance, and magic of Judy Collins’ music live on stage.
