Award-winning singer-songwriter, Jud Caswell, will perform at the Brunswick UU Church for their Concerts for a Cause series on February 24, 2024 at 7:30 pm to raise money for Midcoast New Mainers Group and Oasis Free Clinics.

This concert will be a "Morning Cordial Retrospective" celebrating the pressing of Jud’s 5th CD, "Morning Cordial Vol. 1" CD! "The Morning Cordial" is a video series that Jud launched in March of 2020 to provide a sense of warmth and connection in a time that felt very solitary and isolating. He published a video every weekday for that whole first summer, and the series now has over 175 videos. Those videos included his own original songs, acoustic favorites, and many Irish songs.

One of the leading singer-songwriters on the current scene, Jud Caswell is a master multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, banjo, cittern, whistles and Irish drums. His interpretations of songs from modern acoustic to traditional folk and Irish are done with excellent musicianship, and his words and warm, tender voice portray his landscapes like Wyeth, with a reverence for humble beauty.

Jud’s originals have won some of the most prestigious songwriting contests in the country, including the legendary Kerrville New Folk competition. His songs have been taught at Berklee, recorded by Judy Collins, and named “#4 Song of the Decade” by New York’s WFUV. The single, “The Great Divide,” from the album was the #2 song of October on Folk Alliance International's Charts.

For this concert, Jud will be taking the fan favorites of his Morning Cordials to the live stage. What better way to get through the bleak midwinter than to enjoy a warm and friendly evening of great music that will invigorate the heart.
