Sara Judge

Sara Judge started writing songs as soon as she learned how to write. She's been playing music in Philadelphia, New York, and New Jersey since she was 12 years old. Generally playing alone or with a mandolin or fiddle player, Sara's music is all original, and her songs reflect a unique East Coast sound in the tradition of troubadours with attitude. Sara's musical influences include Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Bob Marley, Sleater Kinney, PJ Harvey and Neko Case.

Writing, directing and performing new works with Philadelphia theater companies has helped shape and inform her distinctive sound. Her live shows capture the energy of dub hall reggae and hip hop, but with the more intimate exchange of acoustic guitar and strings. Sara's music works by bringing the audience into the folk rock genre from a contemporary female perspective with an attitude of "radical engagement."

Recently, Sara opened for David Berkeley at the legendary folk-artist venue Freight and Salvage in Berkeley, CA. She has been invited by Partners in Health to perform at a fundraiser for Haiti relief.
