Samara Joy concert was wonderful. First time visiting this venue and loved it.
The best Female Jazz vocalist I’ve had the pleasure of seeing, hearing, witnessing and experiencing for a second time in over 50 years - KWynn, 2024.
This young lady was awesome, so much vocal control plus a range that will leave you breathless. Give her a few more Grammys, because she sure deserves it!
How can one woman sing so varied in volume (so quiet to belting it out, tone & voice quality, range deep to super high? I kept shaking my head in disbelief, Samara's control of her voice is unequaled! Sometimes she sounds like the soprano sax, & others like a fine flute. She puts such feeling in her songs. Plus she's modest, always giving credit to her bandmembers.
Her voice is incredible. Although I listen to her music on Spotify, to experience her voice in person is incredible! Her range is outstanding! I can’t wait to see what this young lady grows into! And I will definitely see her again in concert!! There were point in the concert she made cry!! A beautiful voice!
All the songs Samara Joy chose exhibited the depth of her singing range. She was gracious to set aside time for one or more musicians to share the scope of their skill with a limited solo within each selection. I would've liked to hear her perform a few of her well-known classics which drew me to her in addition to those new songs for which either she or the band members wrote the lyrics &/or the music respectively. I really appreciate the way NJPAC coordinated our exit with the parking by closing off the street during our departure. Needless to say, the theater itself is exquisite venue with a friendly, polite & helpful staff. The mature crowd made for a stress-free evening I'll remember for quite a while. I'm hopeful that we can return soon.

Samara Joy ans her Band puts their ❤️ Heart and Soul into the Performance
Great concert. I did not realize how many of her songs she wrote lyrics to. A lot!
All I can say was her voice is other-worldly. She also has such poise and confidence for a young person. She is an absolute prodigy!
Samara Joy is so talented. Her voice & range are incredible. I have seen many vocalist and in my opinion she is now and forever the very best Jazz singer I have ever heard. The venue was amazing, our seats were fabulous. The theater staff were great. All together an excellent experience.
Ms. Joy was a true Joy!!!! I enjoyed everything about her show, including the venue. I look forward to seeing her again!!!!
If you enjoy jazz vocals you will LOVE Samara Joy. This very sweet young woman has an amazing gift and she shares it with humility and grace. She combines Ella Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson, Sarah Vaughn, Lady day alongs with her own unique sound and style. I could have listened all night.
Delightful wonderfully chilling evening. samaraJoy’s voice is not like no other at a tender age. Just the beginning. Love the experience to be apart by JOY.
One of the greatest event I have attend. I saw Samara at the Mac Arthur Theater in Princeton last year. I could see the difference in her performance. Maturing and performing fabulously. More comfort with the audience. Great interacting and speaks very well. Great concert.
We had really great box seats, so we were close to the stage. Samara's voice reached you no matter where you were seated. Her voice is so angelic She is a great addition to the world of Jazz.
Samara Joy sings like an angel. Billie Holiday, Charles Mingus and Thelonius Monk would be so proud of her lyrics to and renditions of their music. She is young, fun and so gracious in her gratitude to her parents (who were sitting behind us), her teachers and her loving audience. Her voice transcends the listener to joyous heights. Her band is young and getting better at each concert. So happy I could attend this concert with my son and enjoy old-school jazzy music with a fresh, amazing voice from this beautiful and super-talented singer.
Samara Joy gave a fabulous performance. She has an amazing voice. If she’s ever in the area again, I will try my best to be in the audience.
Samara Joy is extremely talented, the acoustics and sound in the theater was great. Enjoyable experience.
Samara Joy was incredible. I cam only imagine where her career will go. All the best to Samara. The seats were excellent.
