Judd is a singer-songwriter and looping solo performer. Judd is also a session musician, collaborator, and band leader of Judd Lewis & the Loose Cannons.
Judd’s solo style has been described as indie-folk, bluesy, and country. He has been compared to Nick Drake, Elliott Smith, Jim Croce, and Cat Stevens. Judd’s looping sets him apart from a traditional “guy with an acoustic guitar.” He layers tracks live to create a more lush sonic landscape.
Originally from Connecticut, Judd moved to Olympia, and then Seattle, Washington in 1997 and 2006 respectively. In Olympia, Judd attended Evergreen State College, and formed the band Oly Way Out. Later, Judd would join touring folk/punk band The Pasties, and briefly appear in the movie “Kurt Cobain About a Son.” Later he played in the Pine Hearts, and various other projects based in Olympia.
In Seattle, Judd graduated from Cornish College of the Arts with a degree in composition and performance. He started the band Forget Me Nots, active from 2007-2010. He then performed as Judd Wasserman Band with Brad Gibson, Jason Grey, Ty Bailie and Greg Belisle-Chi. Judd played burlesque gigs in the house band at Triple Door and Teatro Zinzanni with Mike Musburger as musical director. Judd later played in Gold Mountain, Kissing Potion, and Great American Trainwreck.
Judd plays solo around the Northwest and beyond, and has opened for Lights (CAN) at Neptune Theater (SEA), and Aladdin Theater (PDX). Judd toured with Great American Trainwreck, and contributed vocals to their first three releases. Judd has self-relesased several albums.
