ABOUT THE BAND
Judy Mangini – Vocals
“Powerhouse vocals!!” “Soulful!!” “Eighth wonder of the world!!” are some of the descriptions people have used after hearing Judy sing! Judy, lead vocalist and percussionist for Judy Sings the Blues, has powerful, vocals with huge range! She will draw you in from the time she hits the stage until the “curtain closes”. She sings with passion, strength and feeling that you not only hear, but you feel it too. Judy has been singing in area bands since she was 16, but she truly loves and enjoys singing the Blues. Growing up, performing is the only thing she has ever wanted to do and she has been writing her own songs since her early teens. Even though she has her own style and sound, Judy has been compared to Ann Wilson (Heart), Janis Joplin, Stevie Nicks and more. Do yourself a favor!! Go check out Judy Sings the Blues !!! Playing the blues is not just playing music. It is a feeling from deep within your soul, capturing the moments in life that make you or break you and telling a story people can relate to. Sharing your emotions with complete strangers and knowing they relate… they’ve been there too… That’s Blues baby!!
