Critically acclaimed Yukon singer-songwriter, Joey O'Neil, is bewitching audiences across Canada with hauntingly heartfelt anecdotes from a woodland life.

Offering vulnerable vocals, engaging banter, and bittersweet wordplay floating atop a bed of fingerpicked guitar, O'Neil's clever sincerity is sure to make you laugh and cry simultaneously.  With a decade of touring to her name, her live performance has been described as “gentle and intimate” by Exclaim! and “absolutely touching, even a little heartbreaking” by NEXT Magazine. Her third album, Phantom Vibes (2023), weaves poignantly personal storytelling with her theremin's ethereal howls and a mélange of folk-jazz instrumentation produced by Aaron Goldstein (Le Ren, Julianna Riolino). She’s earned regular spins on the CBC, as well as a place on !earshot's National Folk / Roots / Blues chart.

When taking a break from chopping wood and hauling water around her off-grid Klondike cabin, O'Neil has achieved long-haul status, playing over 200 concerts around the country while warming stages for Basia Bulat, Jennifer Castle, and Julie Doiron and collecting festival experience at Folk on the Rocks, Dawson City Music Festival, Atlin Arts & Music Festival, BreakOut West, Wintersong, Canadian Music Week, NXNE, and Contact East. After the release of her canine-centric album, Ever Ahead (2020), O'Neil and her road dog, Oblio, embarked on a Dog Park Tour of Canada, performing socially-distanced shows for humans and their best friends at 13 parks across five provinces.

Joey is grateful to live on the traditional territory of the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in.
