Samara Joy

Berklee Performance Center

Vocalist Samara Joy has reached tremendous heights as a prolific rising star in the jazz world. Linger Awhile, her 2022 debut album with Verve Records, drew critical acclaim and earned her two Grammys—Best Jazz Vocal Recording and Best New Artist in any genre.  

In addition to her recording career and touring schedule, Samara reaches millions on TikTok, treating fans of all generations to her vocalese acrobatics and renditions of old-school classics.   

Samara’s exceptional control and range and her refined, distinctive style appeal to a broad range of audiences, from curious newcomers to well-versed aficionados. We invite you to experience her artistry and her open-hearted authenticity during this extraordinary Celebrity Series debut concert! 

“Samara Joy is the real deal. She is a multi-generational talent, with the potential to be the greatest mainstream female jazz singer since Vaughan, McRae and Betty Carter. That is high praise and is not made lightly… Joy just has that special something that cannot be defined. You just know it when you hear it. ”
