Judy Blank

If blue-eyed songstress Judy Blank would tell you she grew up in some one-horse-town in Louisiana, you’d probably believe her. But nothing could be further from the truth. Hailing from Utrecht, The Netherlands, the 24-year-old singer-songwriter is not afraid to fuse musical genres, influenced by several
pilgrimages across the southern United States.

On her new LP Morning Sun, a 70’s inspired coming-of-age confessional that she recorded with Chris Taylor (Rival Sons, Dylan LeBlanc, The Wood Brothers), she effortlessly mixes
traditional folk and groovy americana. From the green-eyed soul of her hit single "Mary Jane" to the jagged-edged ballad of "Tangled Up in You", she can hit all the notes. Even living legends praise her songwriting skills; her song ‘1995’ was called a favorite by none other than Sir Elton John. Judy Blank officially showcased at SXSW this year, just did a successful European tour with the South Carolina indie rockers from SUSTO and will be playing some of the biggest festivals in the Netherlands this Summer.

’’This girl sang some songs that made my heart drum. If she
was anywhere around me, I’d go see her ev’ry night.’’
