Joe Wilkinson is an acoustic singer songwriter/loop pedal artist with an inimitable style of slapping, tugging and pulling at his six string and thoughtful songs about alienation, hedonism and poverty that read like a diary from his constant gigging across Europe. Originally from Bournemouth, Joe now lives primarily in Berlin and has played more than two hundred shows in the last two years in the UK, Germany and Spain. He has amassed over 23,000 likes on Facebook along the way.

Joe's debut single 'Freedom Or This', was released on the 14th of October 2016, with a video produced and directed by award winning Berlin based film maker Robert Grant. Shot in Berlin, the film shows a man confronting his drug problem in the shape of a crow who haunts him. The single was championed by BBC Introducing and featured on local station BBC Radio solent as well as gaining national radio play from both BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music. The single was also selected for BBC Introducing special 'The Sound of 2017'. His second single 'Injustice' is on the way at the end of January. Joe Wilkinson brings fresh air to the acoustic singer/songwriter party with his brooding, melancholy storytelling and big hooks.
