This concert was a Christmas gift to my wife. She fell in love with Samara Joy's music and it was a no brainer to purchase tickets for her show, during the Christmas holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed the concert. My wife especially. It was a magnificent experience and the performance was flawless. And to meet her after the concert and fellowship with her briefly, was the icing on the cake. Thank you Ms. Samara Joy for a fantastic concert and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I Went To The Show On Thursday 12/14/23 & Saw Samara Joy Sing Along With Her Family @ The Apollo Theatre. The Show Was Spectacular & Samara Has Grown Into This Awesome Artist With A Voice To The Nations . I Can Remember Samara Singing With The Choir @ The Church As A Teen & Sang With The Adult Choir With A Strong Voice & Vocals. I Am So Proud Of The Beautiful Young Woman She Has Developed Into With A Voice That Has Attracted All Ages & Allowed Her Peers To See That You Don’t Have To Fit In, Just Be Who You Are Called To Be. I Will Always Support Her . Thank You Samara Joy McClendon 🥰🤗😘

Amazing show! Such musicianship and talent! She is a talented, charming, and joyful! I was taken to church at this show and it was incredible. Moved to tears at times! Seeing the love of her family was also incredible! They definitely made a joyful noise! Her voice will be the jazz vocalist of our time and remembered as one of the greatest females vocalists ever!!! GO SEE THIS WOMAN SING!!!

About Samara Joy
With her Verve Records debut, Linger Awhile, 23-year-old Samara Joy makes her case to join the likes of Sarah, Ella, and Billie as the next mononymous jazz singing sensation recorded by the venerable label. Her voice, rich and velvety yet precociously refined, has already earned her fans like Anita Baker and Regina King, appearances on the TODAY Show and millions of likes on TikTok — cementing her status as perhaps the first Gen Z jazz singing star. On Linger Awhile, Samara will introduce that massive audience to a slew of classic standards several times older than she is through her timeless, irresistible sound.
Samara is still relatively new to jazz. Growing up in the Bronx, it was other music of the past — the music of her parent’s childhoods, as she put it — that she listened to most. She treasures her musical lineage, which stretches back to her grandparents Elder Goldwire and Ruth McLendon, both of whom performed with Philadelphia gospel group the Savettes, and runs through her father, who is a singer, songwriter and producer who toured with gospel artist Andraé Crouch. Eventually, she did follow in the family tradition, singing in church and then with the jazz band at Fordham High School for the Arts, with whom she won Best Vocalist at JALC’s Essentially Ellington competition. That led to her enrolling in SUNY Purchase’s jazz studies program, where she fell deeply in love with the music.
