On FEBRUARY 12, Judy Collins will recreate her legendary 1964 New York City concert hall debut - which took place at The Town Hall. A lover of songwriters and the issues they wrote about, Collins said, "What a time that was 1964. I was very nervous since my record company decided to record this concert and put it out as an album. I had just been to a Bob Dylan concert, heard the Lonesome Death of Hattie Carol, and knew I had to record it."
"It was such a tumultuous time in the world. The Vietnam war was just rolling along, breaking into thunder and lightning and anxiety and pain. People were burning their draft boards cards, trying to get to Canada and facing up to going to Vietnam where many of them would die."
"Making this album and concert at The Town Hall - my very first solo appearance at one of the great concert stages in New York - was a relief and joyous event. It feels right to go back to the material and time period now with the knowledge and life lessons learned in 2020."
Describing this seminal moment, The New York Times wrote, "Judy Collins made her New York
concert debut Saturday at The Town Hall and established herself without delay in the front rank of American balladeers. By the evening's end she had moved her large audience to cheers, whistles and bravos-all heartily deserved."
The concert that Collins is performing at The Town Hall will be recorded for a new vinyl album.
On JANUARY 29, Mariza will pay tribute to Amália Rodrigues, the Queen of Fado, in a concert
