With a great mix of powerful vocals, strong rhythms and a unique approach to classic covers, JudsonMain produces a big sound of songs you love.

In April of 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic, the world was scared, bored and tired of netflix, On the corner of Judson & Main in a big parking lot, two friends got together to play some music. Every Sunday they played music for themselves, then for their friends, then for their neighbors. They performed not only music but a community service. People were kind, appreciative and most of all distracted from a really challenging time in our world.  Although the line up has changed, we still love bringing the music people grew up with to our shows.
