MICHAEL JOYCE
ARTIST PROFILE
Michael Joyce is a UK-based producer who has carved a distinctive niche in electronic music, incorporating many genres. Over the past decade, his compelling live performances have become a staple on the boutique festival circuit, notably impressing audiences at events such Deevstock and Boomtown. Michael melds melancholic, emotive synths with soaring electric guitar tones, all underpinned by dynamic, driving drums.

REVIEWS
“Michael has been booked for our festival for the last few years and always draws a big crowd. His live performance is energetic and continuous and so works really well late at night, for slots usually reserved for DJs, but with the added stage presence that really captures people. With a distinct style to his music and a strong commitment to his work; I can see Michael getting booked across the festival circuit - and it’s only a matter of time until he gets his big break.”
“Michael Joyce first came to our attention 4 years ago. And on raw talent alone, he impressed us immensely. But over the years, he has honed his beautiful sound. I would say soaring synths with him playing snippets of live electric guitar give you a danceable, groovy sound. His newer tracks are atmospheric and a bit deeper, keeping your feet and mind working. A great new talent. Not to be missed.”

ACOUSTIC
Michael Joyce’s electronic music is complemented by his acoustic performances. He has played acoustic sets at many of the UK microfestivals where he’s given live electronic set performances, making him a versatile act for festival bookings.
In recent years, Michael has been appearing alongside his partner, Tegan Palmer, herself a talented singer-songwriter. Each of the pair brings their own library of work, influenced by love, loss and the beauty of the world. They complement each other’s work with harmonies, rhythm and (in Michael’s case) wailing guitar solos, making them a formidable duo. Audiences are moved by their emotional performances, and leave with their cups slightly fuller.
Recordings of Michael and Tegan’s acoustic material are expected to land in late 2024.
