Judy Collins at The Ark in Ann Arbor

Judy Collins rose to prominence in the 1960s as a voice for social and environmental justice, embodying the hopes and resolve of a generation. With over fifty albums, she’s known for making traditional and contemporary folk songs her own, including her Grammy Hall of Fame rendition of "Both Sides Now." Honored by artists across generations on the tribute album Born to the Breed, she remains creatively active—writing, touring, and mentoring—while also speaking publicly about mental health and suicide prevention through her music and advocacy.
