Samara Joy

Presented by Virginia Arts Festival. 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! Tickets start at $35.00
