The Arts Center at Duck Creek in Springs presents Samara Joy featuring Pasquale Grasso Trio on Sunday, July 25, at 5 PM.
Samara Joy is one of the more imposing young singers working in jazz today. She’s from a gospel family; her first exposure to jazz was at Fordham High School for the Arts, and a short time later she became the Ella Fitzgerald Scholar, and in 2019 she won the Sarah Vaughan International Vocal Competition.
Joy will be joined by a trio led by 30-year-old Pasquale Grasso, a budding star from the world of solo guitar. “It’s great working with him,” said Joy, “because I know he brings his best, which pushes me to bring my A-game — nothing less.”
The event is free and will go on rain or shine. In the event of rain, the show will take place indoors with a limited capacity.
