An Evening with Joseph Keckler

Praised by the New York Times as a “major talent who shatters conventional boundaries”, Joseph Keckler possesses 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, Joseph wowed audiences in his first Australian appearance at ΩHM Festival in 2023. He has performed in festivals and theatres across America including the NPR Tiny Desk series and the Lincoln Center.

In 2024, he made his first splash in Australia on double bills with Lydia Lunch, playing at Melbourne Recital Centre, Brisbane Powerhouse, Adelaide Fringe Festival, MONA, and hosting RAGE. He is currently working on new music, film, and a new performance, commissioned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He returns to Australia to perform anew selection of songs as well as some favourites from his previous tour.
