Life is too short to not play music. A talented musician and storyteller, Josh performed in countless plays, concerts and impromptu gatherings throughout his life. As an adult, he focused on bringing music and laughter into the world through original songs and a vast repertoire of folk tunes. Josh found a musical home with his band, The King's Busketeers which performed at festivals and venues across New England. Quite recently, Josh built an audience on social media as Mystic Muttering. Josh brought people together from all walks of life as an avid advocate for activism, poetry and Renaissance festivals. His joie de vivre lit up the world around him.
Some people are like comets. They burn brightly. We will miss Josh's authentic spirit and generous kindness.
A service to celebrate Josh's life is planned on January 29, 2023 at Hope Artiste Village 999 Main Street, Pawtucket RI from 2-6 PM. Guests are encouraged to dress colorfully and bring an instrument to join the musical remembrance.
