Evie Joy

Evie Joy has played over 50 Sofar Sounds shows, has opened for Sheryl Crow, Ava Max, and Social House, and her music was recently used in Season 2 of the television show, “Temptation Island.” A recent recipient of the 2020 New York Women’s Fund Grant and the 2021 NY City Artist Corps Grant, Joy was recognized by PopDust for writing “a canticle of female empowerment” and one of her passions is inspiring women to feel powerful and unburdened by social norms. Joy gets the crowd laughing alongside her by adding funny one-liners in between verses. “There is a sadness in everything,” she says in regard to her comedy in her music, “but that’s where we should find humor.” Joy is newly represented by G.G. Greg Agency for the college circuit, Steinberg Talent for comedic pursuits, and is managed by Robert Oborne. Joy credits her foundation in Operatic vocal training and jazz performance experience and was a recipient of the Johnny Mercer Fellowship.
