Judy Whitfield was a beloved singer-songwriter who not only performed her own songs but also organized many concerts and community arts gatherings in the Hudson Valley region. The Woodstock Times awarded her “Women in Music” series the region’s “Best Ongoing Music Series,” with Judy being named “Ms. Entertainment.” Judy also conducted songwriting workshops for adults as well as school children. Although she passed away from complications of MS in 2025, her spirit remains strong. Judy’s talent, curiosity, generosity, wit and humor will be celebrated in the continuation of “Women in Music” at The Colony Woodstock starting on March 26th, and continuing every last Thursday on April 30th , May 28th and June 25th 2026.
The series will be curated and hosted by Elly Wininger who performed in one of Judy’s “Women in Music” concerts. Elly is a an acoustic and slide guitarist, and songwriter known for her roots in the Greenwich Village Folk and Blues scene. She was inducted into the New York Blues Hall of Fame in 2014, and her album The Blues Never End (2021) spent over four months in the top six albums on the Roots Music Report’s Acoustic Blues chart, with several weeks at Number One. Beyond performing, Wininger has produced award-winning music documentaries for public radio and hosted numerous radio shows. Like Judy, she conducts workshops which empower people of all ages and abilities to write their own songs.
