Joe Astray

Joe Astray – songs from the upside down.

Joe Astray is a singer-songwriter, poet, and relentless touring artist based in Germany. His music blends raw folk storytelling with cinematic soundscapes and lo-fi intimacy – always searching, always honest.

From the streets of Lisbon to late-night stages in Berlin, Joe has built his path the DIY way: one song, one crowd, one city at a time. His lyrics speak to the hopeful, the lost, and the beautifully stubborn – people walking the line between chaos and clarity.

His new single “When the Jailbirds Sing” is out now – a hymn for everyone who still believes in something better.
The upcoming album Stories from the Upside Down (coming fall 2025) was recorded at the legendary Studio Nord Bremen and features nine anthems for those who live off the tracks – fragile, fierce, and full of fire.

Always on tour
