Jimmy Clark
Creator, Composer, Producer, Mastermind
Jimmy Clark, a versatile, magickal being who wears many hats both literally and figuratively, has an incredible zest for life, and a passion to create.
He is an active Special Needs Music Therapist, music educator through his company JC Music & Wellness LLC, workshop presenter, and life coach (specializing in musical artists). He truly gets satisfaction from seeing his clients succeed, and considers his contributions professionally not only soul fulfilling personally, but also deeply important, as he works closely with high-risk and marginalized communities needing support.
He embodies a steadfast devotion and committed hands-on involvement to not only the Pagan and Music communities he most prominently belongs to, but also to his vast national and local ecosystems of artists, organizations, individuals, and businesses.
This New Jersey native is an accomplished musician and composer who actively performs as a guitarist, percussionist, pianist, and vocalist in several bands including Amber Blues (2002-2014), Gypsy Funk Squad (2019-Present), and Veronica Kole (2012-Present). He has written and performed hundreds of songs, released a half dozen albums, as well as arranged and produced content for his clients.
His lively, infectious personality has often led to him being referred to as "the ringleader" because people are naturally drawn to his exuberant, uplifting personality. He excels at making and cultivating connections and knows almost every type of person you could need or want to meet in the music and wellness industry, as well as in the Pagan world.
"The Fools' Journey" has been an incredible undertaking for him as creative mastermind, composer, arranger, producer, and everything that comes with that. He has spent countless hours crafting and carefully refining this and other projects, and is excited to finally share this ten year labor-of-love with you!
Josh Kobel
Singer, Lyricist, Composer
Josh Kobel, a career vocalist, influenced and inspired by musical theater, Christian faith music, and Classical performance and training, created a distinct style of singing that was truly his own.
His powerful voice afforded him innumerable opportunities as a featured soloist and leading man on the stage, in his church, and throughout his years supporting community choirs, choruses, and ensembles.
Lesser known about Josh is that he was a talented multi-instrumentalist, skilled on Piano, Clarinet, Recorder, and folk instruments. Though he didn't consider himself notable as a song writer until teaming up with Jimmy Clark, Josh had a gift for writing vivid, poignant lyrics, supported by a solid understanding and application of music theory and composition principals, a result of his college education and lifetime of involved engagement in vocal groups and orchestras.
Outside of his work in music, Josh held a career serving the elderly as an activities director where he brought love and light into the lives of residents through art, music, entertainment, and community engagement. He had an incredible ability to connect with compassion, creativity, and authentic care, making him a beloved member of not only his company staff, but also as a beacon of reliable stability to all those that held him as cherished in their lives. Josh had a huge heart, and a deep sense of humanity, traits truly rare like a diamond, that alweays enouraged hope, inspired passion, and evokeda nature of good will and magnanimous generosity.
"The Fools' Journey" stands as the high water mark of his work doing original music, with nearly half of the songs brandishing his name as a co-writer, as well as several that he wrote and developed independently. Prior to working with Jimmy, Josh had mostly been focused on his musical theater and faith music portfolio, and it wasn't until they combined forces that he entered recording studios, and truly delved into the craft of creating original music.
