Singer-songwriter Joey Wit has established himself as a rising voice in indie-alternative rock with the release of his sophomore album Rose Gold. The record has incredible stream growth across platforms and continues to sell out vinyl pressings. Singles “Fake Paper” and “Borrowed Time” have been embraced by fans, pairing Wit’s sharp songwriting with his dynamic live performance feel.
Influenced by The Beatles, Tom Petty, Oasis, Silversun Pickups, Wilco, and Radiohead, Wit blends classic and contemporary sounds into a style marked by intimacy and energy. His live shows across the US, UK, and EU have built him a devoted following, with The New Haven Independent praising the group’s onstage chemistry: “They 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.”
Wit’s path into music began after an injury ended his professional baseball career, redirecting him toward his earliest passion. His debut, Eastern Standard, earned indie radio play and established his reputation as a songwriter with an ear for detail. With Rose Gold (which includes contributions from Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Ricky Byrd of Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, as well as Matt Starr – drummer for Ace Frehley/Mr. Big), Wit expands on that foundation with a confident, fully realized sound. He continues to tour both the US, UK, and EU including opening dates with Joel Hoekstra and Brandon Gibbs.
“Music was always sacred at home,” Wit explains. “Writing and performing has been the most natural thing for me.”
Rose Gold is available now on all streaming platforms and vinyl.
