Five-time GRAMMY Award-winning vocalist Samara Joy makes her Aotearoa debut at the Wellington Jazz Festival.
At just 25 years old, Joy has become a breakout jazz sensation, redefining 21st century jazz with her rich tone, refined phrasing, and love and understanding of the Great American Songbook.
Since winning the GRAMMY for Best New Artist in 2023 and earning a spot on Forbes 30 Under 30 list, she has sold out major venues and headlined festivals across the globe - from Carnegie Hall to Jazz at the Lincoln Centre.
Joined by her outstanding seven-piece band at the St James Theatre, Joy will perform music from her critically acclaimed new album Portrait - praised as a “true artistic statement” (The Times) - alongside selections from her back catalogue.
Seamlessly blending the elegance of jazz’s golden age with a modern touch, be sure to secure your seats to see the unforgettable Samara Joy.
