Judy Collins' career has spanned more than 50 years. At 13, Judy Collins made her public debut performing Mozart's Concerto for Two Pianos, but it was the music of such artists as Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, as well as the traditional songs of the folk revival, that sparked Judy's love of lyrics. She soon moved away from the classical piano and began her lifelong love for the guitar. Judy has continued her impressive musical career with an extensive catalog from every decade throughout the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and up to the present.
