Judy Ann Nock is a lifelong musician and multi instrumentalist who grew up singing in church, studied classical voice and piano, and was taught how to play guitar by her Country-Western songwriting father when she was seven years old. Considering how long Judy Ann has been playing guitar, you would think she’d be a lot better at it by now, but here we are. Judy Ann has been described as a “rock ‘n’roll lifer” and a “force of nature.” She has been a consistent figure in the New York City and Hoboken, New Jersey music scenes. She plays the electric sitar for Psych-O-Positive, has been a backup singer for Ivan Julian, and is a regular on the festival circuit with numerous appearances at Lower East Side Festival of the Arts, Turn It Up at Lincoln Center with Ivan Julian, Garden State Art Festival, All About Downtown Jersey City, and more. A renaissance woman, Judy Ann is an accomplished metalsmith having contributed to the work of renowned goldsmith Donna Distefano on launching jewelry collections for Aerosmith, The Hollywood Vampires, and several New York City museums. Most salacious of all, Judy Ann is an international best selling author of six books on witchcraft with several titles in the Modern Witchcraft series, published by Simon & Schuster. A practicing witch, Judy Ann has brought modern witchcraft to the mainstream through her pop culture panel, Witches After Dark which premiered at New York Comic Con 2024 and reprised at San Diego Comic-Con International in 2025. Judy Ann does frequent book signings at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Met Cloisters, and is a popular podcast guest and presenter at events such as HexFest and Starwood Festival. As bizarre as this all is, it’s all true.
