Amy was recently joined by Shawn Colvin as well as noted artists Rufus Wainwright, Shawn Colvin and Jimmy Webb for Joe's Pub 10th Anniversary Concert paying tribute to Judy Collins last October 10th.

About Amy Speace
Amy Speace has already won a loyal grass-roots fan base, thanks in large part to live performances that merge warmth, humor and emotional immediacy, and to a tireless touring schedule that's already taken her across the United States. She's also won considerable critical acclaim, with The Village Voice observing that Speace is "taking her Americana away from twangy contemplation toward tangy confrontation" and noting that she's "not another of those breathy would-be child poets, but a real singing writer of songs." Time Out New York stated, "Amy Speace plays sweet, twangy folk music with a clear voice and an innocent vulnerability," while The Nashville Scene noted that she "balances wry humor with open-hearted honesty." And renowned Nashville critic Robert K. Oermann, writing in Music Row, dubbed her a "new star."

About Judy Collins
Folk icon Judy Collins has thrilled audiences with her unique blend of interpretative folksongs and contemporary themes. For nearly 45 illustrious years, her dulcet tones have graced our ears and her poetic lyrics have galvanized a generation. She's released more than 40 albums (including several gold & platinum sellers) yielding numerous Top 10 hits such as "Both Sides Now" & "Amazing Grace" and whose version of Stephen Sondheim's "Send in the Clowns" won Song of the Year Grammy. Returning to Sellersville - this time with musical accompaniment - Judy Collins continues to create music of hope & healing that lights up the world and speaks to the heart.
About Shawn Collins
Colvin is one of those rare performers, like Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, or her youthful idol Joni Mitchell, who has been able to grow up alongside her audience and mature into her role as singer and songwriter. Although she was rewarded with a Best Contemporary Folk Grammy for her 1989 debut disc, Steady On, Colvin didn't reach a broad mainstream audience until eight years later, when her story of a housewife's fiery revenge, "Sunny Came Home," became an unlikely top ten pop single fifteen months after the album it was taken from, A Few Small Repairs, was released. Her latest album, These Four Walls a is very much an album of shared experiences, common epiphanies.
