JOY OLADOKUN : THE BLACKBIRD TOUR

Ages: 18 & Over
Doors Open: 07:00PM
Since her breakthrough in 2020, acclaimed singer-songwriter Joy Oladokun has been hailed by Rolling Stone as "Nashville's most low-key musical revolutionary" and celebrated for her
uniquely vulnerable voice. Oladokun has released two highly acclaimed albums-2021's in
defense of my own happiness and 2023's Proof of Life-both appearing on numerous best-of-the-year lists. Oladokun's forthcoming project, Observations From a Crowded Room, due out October 18, marks a significant evolution in her career. This 15-track collection-comprised of 12 songs and 3 interludes-reflects her growth as an artist and producer, blending her pop-folk roots with electronic and psychedelic elements. Solely written and produced by Oladokun, the album represents a personal and artistic turning point, crafted during a period of introspection and questioning. A proud queer Black woman and daughter of Nigerian immigrants, Oladokun has graced prestigious stages like the White House for the Respect for Marriage Act signing ceremony, as well as national TV appearances including "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," and "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" She has also performed on "CBS Saturday Morning," "TODAY," PBS' "Austin City Limits," and NPR Music's "Tiny Desk (Home) Concert." Oladokun's music has resonated across diverse platforms, from documentaries to popular TV series like "And Just Like That," "CSI: Vegas" and "Grey's Anatomy." Her song "i see america" was a finalist for the Recording Academy's Special Merit Award for Best Song for Social Change. Widely respected by her peers, Oladokun has collaborated with artists such as Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Jason Isbell and Noah Kahan and has joined Morris, Isbell, Kahan, John Mayer, Tyler Childers, Hozier, My Morning Jacket, Pink Sweat$, Leon Bridges and Manchester Orchestra on the road.

Joy Oladokun has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every ticket sold will go to The Ally Coalition’s work to support homeless and at-risk LGBTQ youth.
