About

Boldly confident lead vocals, subtle harmonies and spare, acoustic-driven instrumentation made The Judds' recordings one of the most unique blocks of work in American music and cemented them as one of the most successful musical duos of all time. Their choice of songs emphasized traditional values and empathy for people engaged in everyday struggles. Although they only performed regularly between 1983 and 1991, they became music royalty to their fans and were recently inducted into the prestigious Country Music Hall of Fame.

Naomi Judd was born Diana Ellen Judd in Ashland, Kentucky, on Jan. 11, 1946. Her daughter, Wynonna, was born Christina Ciminella in Ashland on May 30, 1964. They moved to Los Angeles where Diana's second daughter, Ashley Ciminella, was born on April 19, 1968. Diana renamed herself Naomi, and Christina became Wynonna before they relocated to Nashville in 1979. 

In 1980, Naomi worked at Williamson County Medical Center as a nurse and she began pursuing a musical career for herself and Wynonna, making appearances on Ralph Emery's local morning television show.  In 1982, their break came via a chance encounter with Nashville producer Brent Maher, whose teenage daughter - a schoolmate of Wynonna's - was injured in a car accident.  Maher recognized Naomi from her television appearances and when Maher's daughter was discharged, Naomi gave Maher a tape she & Wynonna had made.  Maher started working with them and following a live audition, they secured a recording deal with RCA/Curb Records.

The Judds first single, "Had a Dream (For the Heart)," was released in November 1983 and made it to No. 17 on the Billboard country chart.  Their next single, "Mama He's Crazy," was their first No. 1 song at country radio and won them their first Grammy award in 1984. All but two of their next 16 singles when to No. 1, including "Why Not Me," "Have Mercy," "Grandpa (Tell Me 'Bout The Good Ole Days)," and "Rockin' With the Rhythm of the Rain."  The duo released six studio albums and would go on to sell over 20 million records, win 5 Grammy Awards, 9 CMA Awards, and 8 ACM Awards.  In 1986, The Judds received their first of three nominations for CMA Entertainer of the Year, making 22-year old Wynonna the youngest person ever to be nominated for the honor - a distinction she held for more than 20 years.

In October 1990, Naomi announced her retirement from performing due to chronic hepatitis.  In 1991, The Judds embarked on a 124-date Love Can Build A Bridge Farewell Tour and ended it on December 4 in Murfreesboro, TN with a Pay-Per-View special, and it was one of the biggest selling tours of all time.  "Love Can Build A Bridge" was their final single, released in December 1990, and was their last top 5 single.

Wynonna exploded onto the music scene in 1992 as a solo music superstar.  Her first 3 singles, "She Is His Only Need," "I Saw the Light," and "No One Else on Earth," all reached No. 1, as did her 1996 single, "To Be Loved By You."  Named "the voice of her generation" by Rolling Stone, her remarkable solo career launched her into pop culture icon status.  She published her memoir, Coming Home to Myself in 1993.  Naomi published her autobiography, Love Can Build A Bridge, in 1993.  

Naomi & Wynonna reunited occasionally, performing at the halftime show for Super Bowl XXVIII in 1994, a 2000 reunion tour, the Stagecoach Festival and Calgary Stampede in 2008, and the Last Encore Tour in 2010-2011.

The Judds made their triumphant return to the CMT Music Awards stage (CBS) on April 11 to perform their chart-topping and international hit, "Love Can Build A Bridge," filmed at the Music City Walk of Fame Park with the Country Music Hall of Fame behind them, and announced they would be reuniting one last time for The Judds: The Final Tour.  With the tragic passing of Naomi on April 30, this would turn out to be their final performance together.  "Love Can Build A Bridge" was the #1 selling single on the Country Digital Song Sales chart for the week ending May 5, 2022.  

Wynonna made the decision to continue The Final Tour as a musical celebration of her mother's legacy, announcing that a different artist will join her on stage in each city to perform some of the classic and timeless Judds hits.

    Awesome Show with the Judds Hits and Special Guests!

    by J. B. on 4/23/23

    Amazing show in Biloxi, Mississippi - Wynonna did her Mama Naomi proud! Wy did not cancel the tour, she showed up! Amazing singing and voice - through the heartbreak and pain, hell and hallelujah - and determined to keep the tour going - Wynonna pulled it off! She is a rocking blues country singer! Ashley McBryde and Martina McBride were also amazing! I like how she mixed the Judds classic songs with some of her own biggest solo hits. It was an evolution of her great music and voice. Lots of emotion, and rocking fun! Yes, I would definitely see them again. I hope that Wynonna will always continue to play and honor the Judds songs in her future concert mix of music. Her voice is one of the best in country - and all genres!

    So Much Love!

    by Sue M on 3/5/23Enmarket Arena - Savannah

    This concert was so fulfilling. What a great line up of support for Wynonna and what a strong woman she is for continuing this concert without her Mom. I truly hope she is reignited and will continue to use her beautiful voice. "Only Love" can sail us to the other shore! God Bless them all

    Loved it but was disappointed no meet and greet

    by Care Bear on 3/4/23Amalie Arena - Tampa

    Wynonna rocked it as always the vip experience was a little lacking. No non alcoholic drinks until we complained. No meet and greet but overall loved it

    my two daughters and I enjoyed the concert!

    by Tami on 3/1/23Amalie Arena - Tampa

    It would have been better if there was less down time between performances! It would have also been nice if there were more concessions on our floor! We were on the 4th floor! We enjoyed the view from our seats! We didn't have to keep popping up and down to watch the show!

    The vocals were excellent and band was so very talented. My husband works with building and repairing anything with strings on it. The mandolin playing was excellent as well as all the other musicians. Thanks for a great (long overdue) night out ❣️

    Bad View

    by Terry on 2/27/23Amalie Arena - Tampa

    My ticket should have been advertised as an obstructed view and priced lower then the other seats in my section. It was difficult to see the show through the metal bars to the right of my seat on the Promenade level , Section 104, Row D Seat 8.
