“Joe is far too young to be such a good songwriter and performer. Watch him at the festival and you can tell everyone you caught him before he was famous.”– Nick Rheinberger, ABC Illawarra
“A rising star in the folk scene – Joe Visser’s lyrics and musical thinking span beyond his years. Definitely one to watch!” – Sivan and Todd Mayhew, The April Maze
“It was a great delight to have Joe Visser perform at the SeeChange Jervis Arts Festival 2018. The Pocket pop-up theatre was the perfect intimate setting to soak up his original songs and the stories they tell. The audience loved every minute.” – Natalie McDonagh, Festival Director
