Praised by the New York Times as a “major talent… who shatters the conventional boundaries,” Joseph Keckler is a writer, songwriter, and multifaceted creator who operates somewhere between art, opera and rock and roll, transforming vignettes of daily life into elaborate underworld voyages. His work has been presented by NPR Tiny Desk, Lincoln Center, Centre Pompidou, and many other venues. His debut essay/story collection, Dragon at the Edge of a Flat World was published by Turtle Point Press. He is currently working on new recordings and films and is under commission by The Metropolitan Museum of Art for a new performance with the MetLive program.

Keckler was in residence at ArtYard this winter, culminating in a Feb. 3, 2024 performance.
