About Me

..
Cary Judd has been traversing the continent for the last 4 years, performing in every imaginable arena from house concerts to stadiums.
His brand of genuine song writing coupled with his compelling live show, never fails to leave an impression on an audience. He surrounds himself on stage with an array of instrumentation, from loop machines, sequencers, effect pedals, and drums to the acoustic guitar that sits at the heart of his songs. His sound is compared by listeners to such artists as The Cure, Joseph Arthur, and The Honorary Title. His story telling and dead pan humor continue to endear him to audiences of all demographics.
Cary was born and raised in the town of Thousand Oaks, California, the once rural town just north of Los Angeles. He now lives in the mountains just north of Jackson Hole, Wyoming where he spends his time off the road wandering through the alpine forests, snowboarding, and communing with nature.
Cary has performed shows/festivals with or opened for: Of Montreal, Owen, Margot & The Nuclear So & Sos, Joshua James, Rocky Votolato, Tristan Prettyman, Citizen Cope, Isaac Hayden, Pedro The Lion, Tyler Hilton, Ryan Shupe & The Rubber Band, Raining Jane, and many others that we're sure you would be impressed with if he could just remember them.
