Judy Carmichael appears frequently on radio and TV throughout the world and maintains a busy international touring schedule.

Her wit and musical knowledge come together on her weekly NPR radio broadcast/podcast Judy Carmichael's Jazz Inspired, now in its 18th year, where she talks with celebrated creative artists about their love for jazz and how it inspires them, everyone from Seth MacFarlane and Jools Holland to Tony Bennett and Billy Joel.

Judy Carmichael has played the major international concert halls and festivals from Carnegie Hall to the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice (the first concert ever presented by the museum) to programs with Melissa Etheridge, Leslie Garrett, Joel Grey, Michael Feinstein, Jools Holland, Steve Ross and the Smothers Brothers. In addition, Ms. Carmichael has done comic skits and performed her music on radio and TV, Jo Soares in Brazil, Entertainment Tonight in the U.S. NPR's Morning Editions, A Prairie Home Company and others, Mornings With Margaret Throsby for the Australia Broadcast Corporation and the BBC's Loose Ends, In Tune, Up All Night, Woman's Hour and numerous other shows.
