Hey everybody, I’m so looking forward to playing in my hometown this week. The show is sold out for now but I will be back in the area later this year!
If you haven’t done so already, would you zip over to Kickstarter and support the new music! Help me launch it! And please don’t wait until the end! Every dollar counts.

Finally!!!
You can download the new EP right now AND help me launch it into the world at the same time! This kickstarter campaign will run for only 60 days from April 15th to June 14th. It’s all or nothing which means either I raise the total funds needed by the end of the campaign or we’re back to 0. You can do it!
Go HERE to get involved- and if you want to get some Weight of Glory swag, or to book a show, just up your reward tier.
Your support is essential. Thanks for believing in me!

I’m so excited to share that six new songs are coming your way very soon. Mindy and I just returned to Florida from a week of tracking new music in Nashville with Artist/Producer Jeremy Casella and a team of fantastic musicians.
We recorded six songs. Five are brand new, written in the past couple of years. One is a song I wrote a ten years ago that just hasn’t fit on any other projects until now. I can’t describe how fun it is to be releasing these new pieces into the world!
The last time I recorded completely original material was 2013. In between I have released two Hymn projects. So, this new EP is really exciting for me. A lot has happened since the “Count The Stars EP” was funded by you via Kickstarter and released: I was ordained an Episcopal Priest, I became an LMHC, I celebrated the birth of two daughters, I grieved the death of both my parents, and I played more away dates around the United States than ever before. What is life?!
So, this new EP is about responsibility, growth, home, doubt, reconciling with our past, and the centrally of the Christian Faith in the midst of life’s chaos.
The producer, Jeremy Casella- a compelling artist in his own right- helped me make these songs a reality. He booked the musicians and caught my vision for the songs from the beginning. This project marked the beginning of a new, sweet, friendship for me with Jeremy!
One of the fun discoveries in the making of this project was just how many unrecorded songs I have. Choosing the songs for this EP made me realize that I have a lot of work ahead of me in the coming years, if I want to get all of my music on tape for others to hear. It’s a fun and challenging dream that I plan to make come true!
If you're interested in booking a house show, here's a wonderful new way to make that happen... https://hostandartist.com/artist/151/josh-bales

Hi! If you are currently attending the Colson Center’s Wilberforce Weekend in Orlando, this is a message for you!
Orlando is where I live and each Sunday night I lead worship at The Cathedral Church of Saint Luke (about 20min away from the Rosen in downtown Orlando).
Please join me this Sunday night, May 15, after Wilberforce Weekend. It would be an honor to have you worship with us.
You can find out more here.
There is free parking around the church and the service begins at 6pm.
