Judy Collins - Sweet Judy Blue Eyes: Farewell Tour co-starring Mary Chapin Carpenter and Rosanne Cash

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 evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Six decades later, her luminescent presence shines brightly as new generations bask in the glow of her iconic 55-album body of work, and heed inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century. 

The award-winning singer-songwriter is esteemed for her imaginative interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk standards and her own poetically poignant original compositions. Collins bids adieu to the road with her Sweet Judy Blue Eyes: Farewell Tour — an expansive final run across North America and beyond that gives audiences one last chance to experience her timeless voice and storytelling live.

Taking the stage with Collins, especially for the Tanglewood concert, are co-stars Mary Chapin Carpenter and Rosanne Cash, two celebrated singer-songwriters in folk music. Carpenter has sold over 17 million records and won five Grammy Awards over the course of her renowned career, including 2025’s critically acclaimed and deeply introspective Personal History. Cash has earned four Grammy Awards, became the first woman to receive the Edward MacDowell award for music composition in 2021, and is praised as America’s foremost musical woman of letters. They are joined by special guest Amanda Shires — a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who received the 2017 Emerging Artist of the Year prize from the Americana Music Association.
