ABOUT
Judy Paster is a Nashville-based, Pennsylvania-grown Americana artist whose music carries the soul of her story—honest, authentic, and full of hope. She began writing songs at age 8, using music to process pain, faith, and a longing for peace after a childhood marked by trauma and loss. Later, her father’s battle with Alzheimer’s and a season of living on the road out West further shaped both her heart and her voice.
Her debut with The Judy Paster Trio features two Grammy-winning members of The Time Jumpers, weaving fiddle, upright bass, and acoustic guitar into a rich, rootsy sound. Her songs have been featured in film and TV (Christmas Crush, The Holiday Exchange, Music City Mistletoe), and she first gained national attention when Billboard called her “an artist truly on the rise” following the release of her debut EP.
Since moving to Nashville, Judy has earned airplay, carved out a place in the singer-songwriter scene, and received multiple awards, including the 2021 Josie Music Award for Folk/Americana Artist of the Year and a Canadian Covenant Award (Canada’s equivalent of the Dove Award) for co-writing Jazz Blues Song of the Year. She has written and shared stages with some of Music City’s top writers, released five albums (Judy Paster, Stronger, Rubies, Rocks & Stones, Like Stardust, Road to the Sun), and several singles. Judy is also part of Women Behind the Lyrics—a national tour and upcoming reality TV series that follows the lives of four female Country artists living and touring together.
She frequently performs at the world-famous Bluebird Cafe and has graced many of Nashville’s premier stages. In addition, Judy’s music videos, including “Chop Wood Carry Water”, “With A Kiss” , and “The Ride” can be seen on TCN (The Country Network), Heartland TV, Country Road TV, & several other TV Networks, spanning a reach of 200 million homes. Through it all, her music remains a steady companion—for herself and for others—offering light, strength, and something real in a world that too often sells the opposite.
