Judi Neal Discography
    { Discography } { Biography } { Calendar} { Neal & Assoc }
Judi has been playing music ever since her mother handed her a ukelele at the age of 8. Growing up in Hawaii was fertile ground for musical creativity since it was common for everyone to sing and play an instrument. She picked up guitar at 14, just when folk music was coming into its prime, and was heavily influenced by such artists as Joan Baez, Judy Collins, Bob Dylan, The Kingston Trio, Peter Paul and Mary, and Joni Mitchell.

While in college, Judi performed music as a way of helping to pay tuition bills and living costs. Later she formed an all-woman country band called Coyote that played clubs and fairs around Connecticut. More recently she has been playing solo on the singer-songwriter circuit.

She wrote her first song at the age of 15 and has been crafting songs ever since. Most of her songs are love songs, although some songs are more inspirational in nature. Her first CD is titled “The Journey” and features special guest artists Bill Staines and Stacy Phillips. She has also produced a guided meditation tape on spirituality in the workplace with original ambient music.

Judi has frequently opened or shared the bill with Bill Staines, and has opened recently for Mary Ann Rossoni at The Beal House. Judi is working on her second solo CD. Her band, The J.J. Diamond Band, is working on their first CD, which will feature many of Judi's original songs.
