- Folk giant Judy Collins performs Wednesday, March 2, at the Tower Theatre.
Judy Collins first rose to prominence in the folk revival of the early 1960s, when she lived in New York City’s Greenwich Village, performed at the legendary venue Gerde’s Folk City and sang songs by giants like Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen.
Since then, Collins has recorded and released 29 albums, reaching the top of the charts multiple times and winning one Grammy award. So it’s somewhat surprising to learn that her new LP, “Spellbound,” is her first ever featuring all original songs written entirely by Collins.
