Judy Collins Rounds Up Stephen Stills, Rikki Lee Jones, Richard Thompson, Paula Cole for March 8 NY Blowout

Perpetual songbird Judy Collins turned 85 in the last year.

On Saturday, March 8th she’s going to celebrate big time at New York’s Town Hall.

She’s rounded up some big stars who will celebrate and perform with her.

Among them, Stephen Stills, who wrote “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” for her in 1969!

Also on the bill: Rikki Lee Jones, Richard Thompson, Paula Cole, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Ari Hest, and names to come.

Sophie B. Hawkins is the host of the night.

There are some, not many, tickets left on the Town Hall website. I recently attended a Judy Collins concert and her voice remains as stunning as ever.

PS You can also read a terrific profile of Collins in the current issue of the New Yorker!
