ABOUT
"As a singer/songwriter, Paster embodies the refreshing simplicity of the troubadour tradition. Soulf​​ul and lyrical melodies are accompanied by trusted riffs and steady guitar. There is an almost luminescent quality to her beauty, and when combined with her decidedly settled and copacetic presence, Paster seems to belong on the stage.” - Americana Highways
Nashville-based, Pennsylvania-grown country Americana artist Judy Paster breathes life back into the timeless roots music genre. She has become known for her strong spirit and distinctive style, reminiscent of popular 70s singer/songwriters, with a contemporary flair. Paster’s music and songs remind us why the truth-seeking, bohemian lifestyle bred by folk story-telling continues to thrive.
Paster’s newest release is a full length Album, called 'Road To The Sun'. It celebrates an 11 song project, that tells a story, and together, the collection paints the picture of a lush landscape - life’s challenges and victories, with a thread of truth and burst of light throughout...a sound that cuts through the chaos of everyday life, bringing serenity through these power-packed songs.
Paster originally gained notoriety in Billboard with her rootsy self-titled debut EP, Judy Paster, when she was referred to as an artist “truly on the rise." Shortly after, Paster moved to Nashville and found herself getting local airplay and carving out her own niche in the Nashville singer/songwriter community.
​
Since making the move to Music City, not only has Paster enjoyed cuts by other independent artists, but she has also garnered numerous music awards including the 2021 Josie Music Award for Folk/Americana Artist of the Year, and a Canadian Covenant Award (the Canadian equivalent of America’s Dove) for co-writing the Jazz Blues Song of the Year, she is a three-time GMA (Gospel Music Association) Covenant award-nominee and has recorded with Southern Gospel legends, the Gaither's.
​
Paster has written and shared the stage with some of Nashville’s top hit songwriters and has also written for film and TV. Her song, “Christmas Crush” (co-written with Bill DiLuigi and Corey Lee Barker) will be featured in a Lifetime TV movie this holiday season, 2024.
​
Most recently, Paster signed with Synapse Publishing & Entertainment to be one of four female country artists/songwriters touring the country together, as part of a reality TV series called Women Behind the Lyrics. Filming has already begun in Nashville with a tour to follow in October 2025.
​​
Since releasing her debut EP, and her recent Album, Paster has released three additional albums, Stronger, Rubies, Rocks & Stones, and Like Stardust, and several singles.
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.
