Josh Bales

Josh is equal parts Singer-Songwriter, Anglican/Episcopal Priest, and Licensed Mental Health Counselor. He holds both an M.Div. and M.A. in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary, a Certificate in Anglican Studies from Nashotah House Theological Seminary, and is a Senior Fellow for the Colson Center. With 20 years of touring experience, thousands of albums sold and downloaded, and well over half a million digital streams in recent years alone, Josh has cultivated a faithful following of energetic listeners that few independent artists can boast. After early releases like “About A Boy” (2003), Self-Titled (2005), and "Underneath The Armor” (2008), Josh's fans funded his 2012 "Count The Stars EP,” with multi-award winning producer, Ed Cash. Josh followed this with a country-infused pop album of love songs, "Somehow I Knew,” and two collections of retuned hymns and songwriter originals: "The Birds Their Carols Raise” (2015) and “Come Away From Rush & Hurry” (2018). In late 2022 Josh went back into the studio for an upcoming singer-songwriter six-song EP scheduled for release in 2023. Originally from Chattanooga, TN Josh now lives in Orlando, FL. where he serves as Canon Priest at the Cathedral Church of Saint Luke.
