Joel Sarakula | Kitarrikolmapäevad Wambolas • Guitar Wednesdays at Wambola 2024

Imagine if Ray Manzarek was the frontman for the Bee Gees...

It’s a neat visual introduction to Joel Sarakula, a UK-based Australian artist who writes, produces and sings Soulful Pop, gazing out at a contemporary world through vintage glasses, vintage threads and long blond hair. His music is informed by a rich, 1970s-inspired palette, drawing on soft-rock, funk and disco influences: sunny, uptempo jams for darker times. Self-aware that he looks and occasionally sounds like the love child of Ray Manzarek and the Gibb brothers, his self-deprecating sense of humour is always there just below the fringe.

He is a regular on the festival and club circuit, having previously performed at SXSW, Primavera Sound and Glastonbury. He's always been a globetrotter who tours with pickup bands sourced from every territory he plays: a Barcelona band in Spain, a Berlin band in Germany and so on. This cross-cultural exchange is another echo of the 1970s, when soul and pop artists from the US roamed the world in the same way, and ensures that his live performances remain fresh, exciting and absolutely contemporary.
