In this musical time period of artists trying to
invent something new and different, Groovy Judy puts a new face on
the 60s sound that made the Bay Area what it is. From the
songwriting influences of Sly and the Family Stone to Jimi Hendrix,
and even to touches of the melodic Beatles sound, San Francisco's
own brings forth her dominating style with the energy of some of
today's best-known artists. Most new artists are focused on
developing catchy one-line hooks and pop riffs that are here today
and gone tomorrow. Groovy Judy focuses on making people smile and
raising vibrations by delivering her own blend of funk, rock and
inspirational pop.
Her self-titled album features
thought-provoking songs like Forgive, Heaven and Hey Dad, and her
approach is more in tune with spirituality focusing on acceptance,
love, and healing. Forgive projects the simple and straight-forward
message that we all seem to forget: simply forgiving one another for
the minor problems and inconveniences someone else may cause and to
concentrate on helping each other. Then, the song undertakes the
important message of learning to forgive ourselves for the mistakes
we make through family pressures and our own insecurity. Heaven,
inspired by her experience of dropping a ring down the sink, focuses
on how we have become too reliant on material possessions for our
happiness and how we have to understand that other aspects of our
life are more important. Hey Dad is a dedication to her father as
well as a celebration of brotherhood. The song also reminds us to
honor and appreciate those who have been critical in providing us
with the learning foundation and ideas we live by today.
Instead of
standing and preaching these messages and then walking away, Groovy
Judy provides a constant and never-ending dedication to bringing the
messages to life through her endless giving to her community. Over
the last few years, she has produced and performed at benefits for
charities and organizations such as The Leukemia Society, Food Not
Bombs, The American Red Cross, Samaritan House, and The Haight
Ashbury Free Clinics. Her message and her actions are the foundation
of who she is and what her music is about.
Many people easily
recognize her from her unique hats and glasses. She acknowledges
them as part of being an entertainer and she shrewdly uses their
attention to "break the ice" with people to communicate her message.
While music today is focusing on simply entertaining us, Groovy Judy
reminds us that the message in the song, the action it brings, and
the feeling it arouses is more important than if you can dance to
it. Groovy Judy is a true entertainer and people often remember her
name, her colorful hats, and most importantly, her loving spirit. To
