Judy Collins: Sweet Judy Blue Eyes Farewell

The first night went so fast they added another. This is a second show, booked due to popular demand, on a farewell tour that is not coming back around. Judy Collins has spent six decades inspiring audiences with sublime vocals, boldly vulnerable songwriting, and a firm commitment to social activism, and her 55-album body of work keeps pulling in listeners who were not born when she made most of it.

Her interpretations are the reason. "Both Sides Now," the Joni Mitchell song she made her own on 1967's Wildflowers, is in the Grammy Hall of Fame. Her version of Stephen Sondheim's "Send in the Clowns," from A Little Night Music, won Song of the Year at the 1975 Grammy Awards. Between them sit top-ten hits, gold and platinum albums, and her own poetically poignant originals. In recent years Rufus Wainwright, Shawn Colvin, Dolly Parton, Joan Baez, and Leonard Cohen honored her with the tribute album Born to the Breed.

The Sweet Judy Blue Eyes Farewell Tour launched July 4, 2026 and runs through 2027, closing out a late career surge: six new albums since 2015, the renaissance of Spellbound, her first album of entirely self-written songs and a 2023 Grammy nominee for Best Folk Album, and the 2025 poetry collection Sometimes It's Heaven: Poems of Love, Loss and Redemption. One more chance to hear that voice in a small room.
