JOSEPH is the Oregon-bred sister duo of Natalie and Meegan Closner, known for their powerful harmonies, emotionally honest songwriting, and genre-blurring blend of indie pop, folk, and rock. Since releasing their breakout debut I’m Alone, No You’re Not in 2016—which featured their hit single “White Flag” and landed them on The Tonight Show, TODAY, and the Billboard charts—the band has steadily built a devoted following through gripping live performances, national tours, and appearances at major festivals including Coachella, Glastonbury, and Bonnaroo.

Over the years, JOSEPH has released a string of critically acclaimed records, including Good Luck, Kid (2019) and The Sun (2023), praised for their rich vocal arrangements and soul-baring lyricism. With the recent departure of their sister Allie, the band enters a new era as a duo—leaning into greater vulnerability, creative autonomy, and emotional depth.

Their upcoming album Closer to Happy (via Nettwerk) marks their boldest and most personal work to date. Co-produced with Luke Niccoli (Carly Rae Jepsen, Miya Folick), the project explores themes of grief, self-trust, and radical self-acceptance. Whether through triumphant anthems like “I Believe In Myself” or gut-punch ballads like “Bye and Bye,” JOSEPH continues to turn lived experience into songs that resonate far beyond the surface.
