Joseph Keckler

Joseph Kecklerpossesses a magnetic stage presence, strange mind, and a powerful and 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 Centre and toured the U.S. as Sleater Kinney’s and Animal Collective’s support act. 

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, overdosing on hallucinogens and the like. 

Having 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 Museum, Adelaide Fringe and Byron Theatre and even hosting RAGE, Joseph returns to Australia on his own to perform a new selection of songs as well as some favourites from his previous tour.
