Samara Joy live in Omaha

Experience Samara Joy live on February 28th

Samara Joy will perform at the Holland Performing Arts Center in Omaha, Nebraska on February 28, 2027. Joy is a vocalist specializing in jazz, particularly known for her interpretations of classic jazz standards and scat singing. Her style draws heavily from the tradition of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Sarah Vaughan, blending vocal virtuosity with a contemporary sensibility. She gained prominence after winning the 2023 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album for *Linger Awhile*, and has been recognized for revitalizing interest in traditional jazz vocals among a younger audience.

The Holland Performing Arts Center opened in 2005 as a key component of Omaha’s revitalization efforts in the Old Market district. Designed by architects Polshek Partnership, the center features two primary performance spaces: the 2,000-seat Holland Concert Hall, known for its acoustics and architectural elegance, and the smaller Lied Center Studio Theater. The venue hosts a diverse range of performances including Broadway shows, orchestral concerts, dance performances, and individual musical acts. It is managed by Omaha Performing Arts, a non-profit organization dedicated to presenting and supporting performing arts in the region.
