Far Caspian: International Showcase Fund for Reeperbahn 2025
Short Project Title: Reeperbahn Festival, Hamburg
Bio: Far Caspian – is Joel Johnston an Irish songwriter and producer who has built up over 250m streams across platforms for his unique sound, with every instrument played and produced by him in his Leeds studio. Live Far Caspian is performed as a 6 piece. This Reeperbahn performance is part of the Far Caspian UK, EU and USA touring in Autumn 2025 following the release of his 3rd album ‘Autofiction’. “Like dejected predecessors Grandaddy, Alex G, and Sparklehorse, Far Caspian makes music that’s impossible to imitate without deciphering the artist’s distinctive production as well.” Pitchfork chord progressions, the dry, crystallized tone on his guitar, the delicate timbre of his vocals… each piece of the puzzle works to elicit goosebumps and offer a peaceful way forward.” Consequence “Autofiction relishes the beauty of humble moments, transitional phases, and perseverance.” Paste Magazine
