Ottawa Jazz Festival 2025 -Samara Joy!

Hey, Note Lovers, it's Carolyn here. Come join us for Ottawa Jazz Festival 2025 -Samara Joy!

A native of the Bronx, Samara Joy became entranced by classic R&B as a child and cut her teeth as a singer in her church’s gospel choir....a masterful interpreter of jazz standards and a rightful heiress of the sound, technique and charisma that defined her jazz heroines — including Vaughan, Betty Carter, Abbey Lincoln and Carmen McRae....

Date: Friday June 27, 2025, 8:30 p.m. Main Stage. I’m showing up earlier.

Location Confederation Park, Elgin St, Ottawa, ON K1P 5J2 Canada

Time: I’ll be there all evening starting at 6:30pm main stage:

Your day pass includes:
TBA - Confederation Park Main Stage @ 6:30pm
Brekky Boy - OLG Stage, Marion Dewar Plaza @ 7:30pm
Samara Joy - Confederation Park Main Stage @ 8:30pm
Ghost-Note - OLG Stage, Marion Dewar Plaza @ 10:30pm

TICKETS: The prices for the tickets really depend on a few factors. You might want to buy a day pass for $88. You might want to use your CAA card to make it only $75. If you're thinking about going to a whole bunch of shows, consider the bronze pass. Or the gold pass, which gets you into things for the whole week. See details on the main Ottawa Jazz Festival website. If you are a youth, tickets are cheaper still. And if you volunteer, you get to see it for free!

I will update with where, when to meet and how to find me in June. I’ll post what I’m wearing, and where I am all the time. We will find you. (Please note I’m not going to look for you unless you have a perfectly clear portrait photo on your meetup profile) If you’re looking for the group, keep checking the main chat for this event (see below, scroll down right now….) and I’ll be constantly posting stuff for anyone that hasn’t found me yet.

RSVP here. Cancel if you’re not coming. Dress for the weather. Maybe a lawnchair.

Good times!
