Her soft voice nestles gently into the warm sounds of her guitar. Fingerstyle and singer/songwriter become one. Judith Beckedorf began playing guitar at the age of 14, gave her first solo concerts early on, and soon moved to her adopted home of Dresden to study acoustic guitar.

Inspired by American folk music, she began to explore new instruments like the mandolin and banjo, and discovered her love of songwriting.

On her album "Behind The Blue Sea," thoughts and folky melodies find their place between crisp grooves and graceful ballads.

With the album's title track, "Don't Waste Your Time," she celebrates her departure into a new musical world and her debut as a singer/songwriter.

But Judith Beckedorf rarely stands still. She performs solo concerts and tours regularly with her progressive folk/Americana trio "Standard Crow Behavior," which places a special emphasis on sophisticated arrangements and harmony vocals, and for which she writes songs, sings, and plays guitar, mandolin, and banjo.
