Jud Caswell is a very particular kind of Maine singer-songwriter. He comes from that place where the two Maines meet: where ex-hippies play cribbage with fishermen and a kind of rural poetry is infused with no-nonsense Yankee pragmatism. He grew up on a little farm in Morrill, Maine, picking carrots and milking goats; listening to records by Cat Stevens and the Beatles and readings from Kahlil Gibran.

This perspective keeps him grounded even as his songs reach deeper. Praised as “emotionally resonant, deeply affecting and superbly crafted,” his songs approach social commentary and simple pleasures with the same integrity and genuineness that he brings to the stage, captivating audiences and making friends as well as fans.

In 2006, Jud won the legendary Kerrville New Folk Contest, the Wildflower Performing Songwriter Contest, the Boston Folk Festival Songwriting Contest, and showcased at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival.
