Joseph Keckler possesses a magnetic stage presence, strange mind and a powerful, expressive voice.

Operating in a mode of his own, somewhere between opera, art, and rock and roll, Keckler has been praised by the New York Times as a "major talent who shatters conventional boundaries".

He has previously been presented by NPR Tiny Desk series, Lincoln Center (in New York) and has toured America supporting both Sleater Kinney and Animal Collective.

He first toured Australia in March 2024 as part of a double bill with No Wave New York icon, Lydia Lunch winning over audiences with his extraordinary voice, haunting ballads, captivating stories, spooky grooves, and ambiguously autobiographical arias about having sex with ghosts and overdosing on hallucinogens.

Joseph has sold out shows at Melbourne Recital Centre, OHM Fest in Brisbane, Phoenix Central Park and the Great Club in Sydney as well as performing at MONA, Adelaide Fringe and Byron Theatre - and even hosting ABC's Rage!

Joseph returns to Australia to perform solo a new selection of songs as well as some of his well-known favourites.
