Inspired by artists such as Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, singer-songwriter Judy Collins hit stardom in 1967 after her cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides, Now” gained international recognition.

During her career, Collins has released over 25 studio albums and numerous live and compilation albums. (Ocean City Music Pier, 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 6, $50 and $40).

Evancho has performed with the Ocean City Pops twice before and has become a local favorite. (Ocean City Music Pier, 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 27, $50 and $40).
