Groovy Judy - Topic

Whether she is rocking the stage at some of San Francisco’s longest-running and most popular events or entertaining crowds at the legendary Great American Music Hall, guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Groovy Judy has become one of the Bay Area’s most recognizable musicians. Inspired by the likes of Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles, Groovy Judy’s classic riffs and warm personality have endeared her to fans everywhere.
  
In addition to rocking stages throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Judy is also a cancer survivor. In 2017, she was diagnosed with salivary gland cancer, a rare form of the disease seen in one case per 100,000 cases in the U.S. each year. She underwent surgery to have the tumor removed and made an immediate return to the stage, refusing to cancel her shows despite temporary paralysis on the left side of her face.

Judy has discovered several ways to use her music to help others.  She has donated performances to a number of charities, including the American Red Cross, American Cancer Society, American Leukemia Society and Food Not Bombs.  Judy recently organized a drive from which tips from her shows and donations from fans were given to assist with fire relief in California.

Away from music, Judy enjoys spending time with her husband and family and loves playing golf.  She likes watching movies and loves being outdoors. http://groovyjudy.com
