Judy's enchantment with the Delta began in 2012 when she first set foot in Isleton, California, to perform with her band, "Groovy Judy." From that moment, she was captivated by the region's natural beauty, free-spirited vibe, and the genuine warmth of its residents. Having a degree in Broadcast Communications and a contagious zest for life, Judy seamlessly integrated herself into the fabric of Delta society, becoming a beloved fixture in her adopted hometown of Rio Vista, California. Join Judy on an enchanting voyage through the captivating pages of "Small Town Love" and immerse yourself in the magic of small-town living in the Sacramento Delta. Through her engaging storytelling and unwavering enthusiasm, you'll come to realize that true joy is found not in the hustle and bustle of city life but in the simple pleasures shared with cherished neighbors, friends, and loved ones.
