I will sing to the Lord as long as I live. Judy has performed in a variety of venues in the U.S. and in Europe, singing anything from country to classical. Her mother would laugh and say Judy will tell you her favorite is whatever she is singing at the moment, but Judy claims her favorite genres to perform are Gospel, country and classic rock, or a mixture of any of these. Judy has a special passion for musical theatre and has been cast in a variety of roles over the years. Judy plays several woodwind and string instruments as well and has been a member of a variety of orchestras, bands and ensembles in New York, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Texas. Judy has participated in several fund-raising and charitable events for the American Heart Society, National Kidney Foundation and private donation events for kidney patients. Immediately following high school graduation Judy spent five years serving in the U.S. Air Force. She received her Certification as a Surgical Technologist and Surgical Assistant, and and she worked in the Operating Room for over twenty years before moving to the Orhtopaedic Clinic as an Office Nurse and Cast Technician. Judy purused a B.A. at the University of Wisconsin after her medical career and studied English, German and Music. Coinciding with one of many cross-country moves, Judy secured a position as a Bookstore Manager, which was a dream come true being surrounded by books all day. A series of medical conditions ensued and Judy became totally disabled from full time work. It was during this time that Judy was led by the Lord to return to her first love: music. She began playing violin, clarinet and oboe in the university orchestras, but this just did not satisfy her nor did it seem to be God's plan. Judy moved to Houston, TX in July 2005 and found happiness. Judy sings background vocals on tour and in the studio for #1 multi award-winning Gospel Recording Artist/Songwriter Keith Caldwell and multi award-winning Songwriter/Pianist/Vocalist Clayton B. Howell. Most recently, Keith Caldwell was named Entertainer Of The Year in the 2009 CGC Choice Awards and Keith and Clay were named Songwriter Of The Year for the second year in a row in the 2009 CGC Choice Awards. When not on tour, Judy works as Office Manager and Webmaster for KCCH Music and a Worship Leader for the early morning service at her church. She is also actively songwriting and working on resurrecting her own solo career, which was put on hold years ago.
