Judy Collins has long inspired audiences with sublime vocals, boldly vulnerable songwriting, personal life triumphs, and a firm commitment to social activism. In the 1960s, she released her masterful debut, A Maid of Constant Sorrow, and became a tastemaker within the thriving Greenwich Village folk community, bringing other singer-songwriters to a wider audience, including Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, and Randy Newman. Decades later, her luminescent presence shines brightly as new generations bask in the glow of her iconic 55-album body of work.

With her 2026 tour, Collins is taking a rare moment to look back on her landmark 1967 album, Wildflowers. The cultural icon will perform an exclusive series of shows bringing to full bloom her chamber-folk masterwork supported by an orchestra. The show will also feature Collins’ most beloved songs from her decades-spanning oeuvre.
