Joseph Keckler

Joseph Keckler is a Brooklyn-based artist who effortlessly blurs the boundaries between opera, cabaret, and contemporary music with his remarkable vocal range and theatrical sensibility. Hailed by the New York Times as a "major vocal talent" with a "trickster’s dark humor," Keckler is known for his "faux arias" and a body of work that spans expressive songs, sharp prose, and absurd, affecting performances that have been featured at venues like Lincoln Center, Centre Pompidou, and NPR Tiny Desk. As an award-winning singer, writer, and multidisciplinary creator, he crafts songs and stories that transform ordinary moments into strange, unforgettable voyages.

Keckler's distinctive approach to performance has earned him acclaim in both the art and music worlds, with recent live performances including "Appearances," "City," and "The Ride." He’s also the author of the essay and story collection Dragon at the Edge of a Flat World and has been recognized with honors from Creative Capital and the New York Foundation for the Arts. Whether he’s singing original songs, reimagining classics, or pushing the limits of genre, Joseph Keckler brings a rare blend of virtuosity, wit, and emotional depth to every project.
