SCHEDULED VIRTUAL ENTERTAINMENT

August 26: 6PM
Judy Kass
Judy Kass draws in her audience with soulful vocals and genre-bending exploration of guitar and piano. Her debut album, “Better Things” and her second CD, “Beyond the Ash and Steel” both appeared on the Folk DJ List of Top Albums. Judy’s 2017 single, “Look at Us Marching Now”, caught the attention of Christine Lavin, who created a music video of the song. A finalist in several songwriting competitions, Judy was recently named First Place Winner in the Singer/Songwriter category of the 21st Great American Song Contest. A free event.
