The Judy Chops formed in 2008 in the Shenandoah Valley, and has become a staple of the Virginia music scene. What began as a four piece acoustic act, has evolved into a dynamic musical collective that has been winning over audiences of all shapes and sizes due to the group’s high energy live shows, and deft musicianship. The Judy Chops have been a perennial favorite at Red Wing Roots Music Festival after being named 'Best Local Roots Band' at the inaugural Red Wing back in 2013. The group would go on to win Rockn' to LOCKN' in 2018, culminating in a huge set at LOCKN' Music Festival following Keller Williams' Grateful Gospel.
