Sunday 5 February 2023 from 7pm to 11pm
Fresh from featuring at the annual Broken Heel Festival in Broken Hill, Cassy Judy releases her new anthemic indie pop track ‘I've Come So Far’ on February 5. Ever the storyteller, Cassy invites you into her personal struggles to find a home in the world and within herself
“This song was inspired by Carlotta's showstopping performance at the 2019 Broken Heel Festival, "I'm Still Here," Carlotta sang triumphantly. It gave me a chance to reflect on how far I've come, only metres away from where I used to live and work in Broken Hill. In that moment, I realised that I've Come So Far!”, Cassy said.
The release has a Sydney launch in Erskineville supported by her band featuring Lindy Morrison on drums and Alison Gould on bass, with streaming tickets available for anyone unable to make it to the show in person.
Cassy Judy is a proud transgender woman, criminal lawyer, community activist and musician who has been releasing songs through her own label Queer Worm Records including the ‘Seven Ways’ EP released last year.
“Even while covering serious topics like lost love or plate tectonics, her sense of humour always shines through.”

As a musician, Judy has been described as “a wild trans mashup of Paul Kelly meets Orville Peck”, whose creativity is not bound by genre which sees delightful mix of pop, folk, country and rock, with a healthy dose of comedy splashed across her releases and live performances.
Cassy is a fixture of the Sydney Queer performance scene and works to increase the visibility of Trans and Gender Diverse people including coordinating the 2021 & 2022 Trans Girlz Calendar and the 2019 Trans & Gender Diverse photoshoot, showcasing Trans Visibility and raising funds for ACON. Cassy has also gained national media attention protesting the exclusion of Trans Women from the Coogee Women’s Pool.
