History
Cary Judd began writing music in Thousand Oaks, California, when he was 12. He is a Latter-day Saint, though he has mentioned an affinity for Zen Buddhism as well.[1] Cary created the China Mountains Records record label for his own releases, and has signed several other acoustic artists including Asher in the Rye and Isaac Hayes.[2][3] His debut album was Perfect Uncertain, released in 2003, followed by Looking Down from Space in 2006. Cary tours heavily in support of his music, and has written a book on touring called The Cary Judd Tour Field Manual, written for musicians who wish to tour without tour support from major record labels. The book has been endorsed by several people in the industry, including David Cimney, who is a tour manager for Lady Gaga, Lifehouse, Alien Ant Farm, and Neve.[4] Judd released one of his live shows as a free downloadable album called Live from Velour, available on his website, recorded at the Velour in Provo, Utah.
His 2009 album Goodnight Human featured Scot Alexander of Dishwalla on bass on the song "Kiss Comes to Shove."[5] The album has received generally positive reviews, and was rated the #2 album of 2009 by Kristin Houser of LAMusicBlog.com.[6]
Cary endorses Anthem electric guitars, and plays an Anthem PST20 electric guitar through a Vox AC-30 amp.[7]
