Judy Collins has announced dates for her Sweet Judy Blue Eyes Farewell Tour, marking the beginning of what is expected to be her final large-scale run of live performances after more than six decades on the road.
"Touring has been the great thread of my life — city to city, song to song, face to face," Collins, 87, said in a statement. "The audiences have carried me for decades, and I’ve never stopped being moved by what can happen in a room when we truly listen to one another. This tour is my way of saying thank you — out loud, together."
Although she first gained attention as a folk artist, Collins became a mainstream star thanks to recordings that blended folk, pop and singer-songwriter influences. Her version of "Both Sides, Now" helped introduce the songwriting of Joni Mitchell to a wider audience, while "Send in the Clown"s became one of the signature recordings of her career. Over the years, Collins also championed the work of artists such as Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and Mitchell, helping bring many now-classic songs to mainstream audiences.
Collins' influence extended far beyond music as well.
Despite announcing a farewell tour, Collins has made it clear in recent years that she has no intention of stepping away from creativity entirely. Instead, the tour represents a chance to celebrate a lifetime of music with the fans who have supported her throughout an extraordinary journey.
Few artists have maintained such a lasting presence in American music.
Now, after a lifetime on stage, the legendary performer is preparing to say goodbye to touring—bringing one of the most remarkable careers in music history full circle.
