Singer-songwriter Joy Oladokun performs live on her The Heavy Things Tour at the Scoot Inn in Austin.
Joy Oladokun plays Scoot Inn on Saturday, October 17, 2026. The show is part of The Heavy Things Tour, the run she's taking across the country this year, and this is the Austin stop on that circuit. It's a single-bill night, so it's just her on the stage.
If you've followed her work, you know where she's coming from. Her songs have always sat at a crossroads—folk, R&B, and soul all pulling at once—and The Heavy Things is the latest record she's touring. The set will lean on that new material, though she'll pull from her older records too, so you'll hear the newer songs alongside the ones that first put her on the map. It's a good way to see how the sound has shifted from the early days to where she is now.
Oladokun has built her name around a voice that carries a lot of weight, and The Heavy Things continues that. The tour is built around the new album, and the live set is where those songs get to breathe outside the studio. Between the new tracks and the older ones, the night covers a fair stretch of her catalog.
