Award-winning entertainer Judy Pancoast is an acclaimed children's musical artist. Hailed by parents as, "filling the void between Barney and Britney," Pancoast composes age-appropriate songs for pre-teen children, which she performs under her new trademark, Judy's Tune Room, at concerts, festivals, schools, social and civic events, and other venues throughout the United States.
Pancoast, who has twice performed for the President of the United States, has a vocal style that has been compared to that of the late Karen Carpenter; and it was, in fact, Carpenter whose records Judy listened to the most during her formative years. Pancoast has been a solo performing artist, the leader of several popular bands, and a successful radio announcer for many years. Her natural ease with children and belief that they receive an invaluable education through music led her to pursue and attain a teaching degree. It was then that the confluence of her musical ability, her ability to inspire children and her sense of humor resulted in her acclaimed series of original recordings and renowned children's concerts.
