In her new concert, 'Get Happy: A Judy Garland Centennial Celebration,' Jessica Vosk pays tribute to Garland's classic songbook and fierce talent
As the old joke goes, when the pedestrian approached a musician for directions asking, “How you get to Carnegie Hall?” The musician replied “Practice. Practice. Practice.” In Vosk’s case, not only was it practice that led her to Carnegie Hall. She also got there by way of Wall Street.Before she even graduated from college Vosk took a job at a financial firm in midtown Manhattan.
But cutting off that key part of her manifested in anxiety and ultimately full-blown panic attacks. “I knew I had to fix it, and I decided to leave the job,” she says. “No safety net. Just hope. I trust My gut always, even to this day. And my gut said that if I didn't go after my passion, I’d regret if for the rest of my life.” Vosk was convinced that even if she fell flat on her face which she still sometimes does she could say, ‘I took the chance on myself. I’m so glad I did.
Despite the exhaustion, sacrifice, depression and thickened skin, she credits the experience as essential to her growth. “It’s all a part of who I am today and why I’m here,” says Vosk. “But it has taken a lot.”
