Joey Wit returns to the UK & Ireland this Autumn after Summer tour of Japan

If Joey Wit had only been a short-lived professional baseball player, that would have been enough of a legacy to satisfy his adventurous spirit. But after three years and multiple concussions, when his career ended abruptly, he was blessed with the hard-earned realization that he never felt as alive or awake in athletics as he did writing and performing music. As a boy who grew up listening to classic rock in the likes of the Beatles and Stones, while drowning in guitar catalogs before and between little league games, his homecoming back to music was both a dream and the hardest thing he's ever done, yet where he's supposed to be.

Now, Wit is a tattooed indie rock singer with a sound influenced by contemporary alternative artists such as Wilco and Radiohead, along with the vintage progressive touch of bands like Yes and Pink Floyd, with an aspect of personal storytelling immersed in vulnerability. Featuring the single, "Reconsider," his debut record, "Eastern Standard" accumulated extensive radio play on the indie rock circuit. Wit and his band "stop and start their songs using the telepathy of familiar bandmates, infusing the material with dynamics that let the music go from a roar to a whisper of fingerpicking from one beat to the next," wrote The New Haven Independent. His songs lyrically describe deeply human journeys: Searching for someone to fall in love with; dreading the unknown; getting another, unexpected chance to run at a dream; making instant and profound connections at the wrong time; romanticizing past relationships. They portray, in equal measure, feelings of brokenness and of the glimmers of hope when piecing oneself back together. But they also pan back out to reflect a deeper belief, that the telling of these stories matter more than the stories themselves. That's what gets us through.

Wit's sophomore LP, "Rose Gold", was released on 13 September 2024 via the Boston based H1 MASSIVE record label, featuring the first single "Leave It to Me," which came in at #24 on the Radio Indie Alliance Charts, with contributions from Matt Starr (drums-Ace Frehley/Mr.Big) and 2015 Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Ricky Byrd (Joan Jett & The Blackhearts) on lead guitar. 2024 saw Wit hit the road in support of Joel Hoekstra (Trans-Siberian Orchestra/Whitesnake) and Brandon Gibbs (Devil City Angels/Poison) on their Ireland/UK Tour; as well as his own ROSE GOLD RECORD RELEASE TOUR, having made stops and performing with his band throughout the UK, Ireland, and Iceland!

Joey Wit continued his global and domestic touring with stops across Switzerland, and the West Coast USA. Including dates in California, Arizona, and Nevada! All while cutting a new record at Nashville’s famed Blackbird Studio!

2026 will see Wit enter the Pacific Theatre as he embarks on his first solo tour of Japan, as well as a return to the UK/Ireland this Autumn with his rock n roll band, “The Dirty Verses”.

2027 will see LP3 and further international and US tour dates!

Joey Wit uses Ernie Ball/Music Man guitars and strings, Godin Acoustic Guitars, Greer Amps and Effects, G7th Capos, and Whitney Amplification.
