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. 😊

I’ve had great experience with Judy! I have been teaching myself how to play for about a year before I a plateau in my skill, so I sought out her services here in Thumbtack. She has given me a more clear sense of direction as to what to practice next, which has helped me improve very quickly. I continue to take lessons with Judy every 2 weeks, and plan to do so indefinitely. Moreover, though she’s chill and easygoing during the lessons, you can see how hard she rocks if you catch her at one of her gigs! 5/5
