    In further good news for country fans, Johan Kagen today joins the Country Fest Queensland, Townsville line-up including the already announced Sam Barber, Brad Cox, Hayley Jensen, Lane Pittman and more...taking place on Saturday 17 April. Tickets and info via countryfest.com.au


    Savannah, Georgia, USA native Jonah Kagen blends raw, intricate guitar work with lyrics that are as personal as they are universally resonant. Inspired by songwriters including Townes Van Zandt and Jason Isbell and fingerstyle virtuoso Andy McKee, Kagen turns introspection into powerful, expansive songs built for both headphones and the world’s biggest stages.

    His breakout single 'God Needs the Devil' reached No. 1 at U.S. Alternative Radio, while his catalogue has surpassed 500 million global streams.

    His 2025 debut album, Sunflowers and Leather, documented a year spent traveling and recording across America in a rebuilt Airstream studio, with its 16 songs tracing the beauty, upheaval and unexpected encounters he experienced along the way. Featuring a collaboration with Sam Barber, the album earned praise from PEOPLE (USA), American Songwriter, Rolling Stone, Ones To Watch and more...and charted at No. 3 on Spotify’s Top Albums chart.

    In 2026, 'God Needs the Devil' earned Gold certification as Kagen embarked on a sold-out 32-date Sunflowers & Leather Tour. This fall (US), Kagen performed alongside Dave Matthews Band at The Gorge before joining Dermot Kennedy for an extensive North American run.


    Kagen has just released his sophomore album Eternity of Anything (out now via Sony Music, listen here) which turns the outward-looking lens of his debut inward while taking unprecedented ownership of the recording process, writing, producing, recording, engineering and mixing the project himself. The album features the singles 'Do Better' and the powerful 'Don't Feel Right', a dark, restless introduction to a record that pushes his songwriting to a grander scale, pairing grittier production and unexpected sonic choices with songs built to fill stadiums, all while exploring one of life's most overwhelming concepts: love in all its forms.

    Kagen wrote, produced and mixed the album himself, working in near-total isolation over an intense two-to-three-month stretch. Many nights ended around 4 a.m., with Kagen deliberately withholding the music from outside ears until it was complete. That obsessive process is embedded in the album's sound: intimate songwriting pushed into adventurous production, strange textures and moments designed to feel as visceral on stage as they do on record.

    Don't miss the captivating, raw, live performance from Jonah Kagen this coming April!
