Presented by Virginia Arts Festival. “Every so often a new vocalist blows everyone on the jazz scene away with their distinctive style, charm, and dexterity. Samara Joy is that new voice that’s giving new purpose to the music.” –JazzTimes.com
This phenomenal young star has critics sharpening their superlatives, calling her “a reincarnation of Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald in the same body” (London Jazz News), and “a voice that seems to have a gravitational pull keeping the planets in orbit” (WGBO). At just 25, she already has three Grammy Awards, including the 2023 New Artist and Best Jazz Vocal Album and the 2024 Improvised Jazz Solo. Samara Joy’s 2024 Virginia Arts Festival performance sold out—order your tickets now to guarantee your seats for this return engagement!
