About

Introduction: "Guitar riffs like Jimi Hendrix, vocals like Chrissie Hynde, with a smile and energy that lights up the room. " Solo top 40 classic rock/folk/pop/funk/soul/blues for all events. Whether it's playing solo acoustic, with a full band, or anywhere in between, I've been performing cover and original songs for over 25 years. My repertoire spans from the 1960s through the present, ranging from The Beatles to Bruno Mars. (Ask for my song list!) My shows and my vibe are very positive. When acceptable, I love to go out into the audience and involve them in the show. I love to perform, entertain, and bring joy to others. My goal as a singer and guitarist is to bring joy and happiness with music, songs, and smiles. 😊

We hired Judy for our party. We did not want a whole band a saw from her website she also performed solo, as well as with her band. It was perfect for our gathering. She played and sang a lot of different styles of music. She had people dancing and singing along. Professional and fun. We will definitely be having her back

We hired The Groovy Judy Band for a private event just hoping for some good, fun music. What we got was so much more! The band sounded great and gave a performance that my guests still talk about. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again. Highly recommended!

Judy got right back to me once I contacted her regarding our upcoming event. She showed up with her band and was ready to go at the pre-scheduled time. The band played a great selection of music. Judy got the crowd going with her enthusiasm and great guitar playing........overall it was a fun time. We will look forward to working with her in the near future.

Hired on Thumbtack

Judy is an amazing artist. She is absolutely fascinating on guitar and her singing kept our guests humming along. She entertained our hundred plus guests at our annual indo-western Diwali Celebration and it was a blast. She’s warm and friendly, very personable. I would hire her in a heartbeat for our next party 💝🤘
