JOEY LEIGH WAGTAIL
Singer-songwriter, Joey Leigh Wagtail, an 893rd generation Dunghutti man, has created an effortless sound that tears your heartstrings then heals them — Folk Rockin’ Blues on Country. Selected as one of three musicians for Create NSW’s Generations New Music Early Career Fellowship from October 2022 - March 2023 which included a sixmonth residency at Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum, Joey recently released his debut single, “Delusions of Grandeur” off of the forthcoming album.
The inimitable Joey Leigh Wagtail recently tore up Fortitude Valley at BIGSOUND 2023 where he brought to the stage his unique and endearing style of contemporary music, complemented by a bunch of multi-talented players including Scott Owen from The Living End on double bass, the wildly electric Matt Tonks, Brad Collins’ huge thumping and heartwarming drumming style, the towering presence and musical stylings of Nathan Douglas, all backed by delightful vocal harmonies of Velmo Klymo. It was wild, it was sweet, it went deep and electric. Joey and various iterations of the band are in the midst of planning Spring/Summer live dates, so sign up to the newsletter and follow Joey’s socials to stay in the loop.
