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.

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.

Joy always delivers a great show. I wasn't as in love with the opening act Becca but they really did connect to the audience in between songs which was a treat. Joy as always took us on a musical journey and it was simply stunning to witness.
I didn’t know Joy’s music other than one song with Chris Stapleton. She is so delightful! She was funny. Honest. Charming. And wow can that girl sing!! Super talented. My husband and I throughly enjoyed it.
Joy is amazing!! She has a singing voice that is a delight to listen to. Her lyrics resonate and leave you thinking. I would absolutely attend any of her concerts.
Joy was AMAZING!!! The opener was way to political and their audio just wasn’t good.
I love Joy's lyrics and feeling in her voice. I saw her at Outside Lands 2023. The concert was fun and the band played solid. She sang well too. She just seemed to be looking for approval from her bassist rather than connecting with the crowd which took away a little oomph from the performance. Still enjoyed myself and it was a great crowd that came to see her.
She and her whole band delivered. Her music is bomb and she happens to also be hilarious. I really enjoyed the whole show.
So fun and entertaining! What a voice! Was thinking of flying to LA to see the show, so glad she came to Denver.
Joy is a phenomenal performer. Humble, ridiculously talented, and puts on a really good show. Highly recommend say her. You will not regret it.
Was blessed enough to see Miss. Joy Oladokun at the Keswick Theatre. She did this amazing Green Day mash up. Overall a lively performance! I look forward to seeing her again this fall.
The opening act Bre Kennedy was really good. Led up to Joy who is inspiring and wonderful. Her band and back up singers were so fun to watch. Great venue! Her voice, guitar playing and stories about her life are always wonderful to listen to. Can’t wait to see her again! She’s got a loyal following.
I saw Joy at the Mish and at Red Rocks last August and she was so down to earth and just someone you would love to be around and have a sesh. Seeing her in my hometown and at the Bowery was soo sweet! I felt like she let us in on her thoughts and feelings more as she was the headliner. She does not disappoint!
I got there at 7 expecting the show to begin at 7:30, but there were 2 opening acts that lasted until 9 pm at least, and while they were good, I had to leave to feed my parking meter. There was no re-entry into the venue, so I was SOL for seeing the act I had actually wanted to see. However, the opening acts were good. Wish I could have come back in!
