Now in her 80’s, “Old Folkie” Judy Collins has decided it is time for one final tour around North America before hanging up the guitar and microphone after over 60 years of music.

Copying the song title about her written by Stephen Stills, Collins has named the tour “Sweet Judy Blue Eyes”; the tour is set for an official kick off on July 4.

Richard Thompson, The High Kings, Bruce Cockburn, Elles Bailey, and Livington Taylor will make special guest appearances on select dates.
