About the Band
Not the Jester is the musical amalgamation of Rachael and Michael, a married duo crafting their sound from the rustic forests and rocky shores of western Washington.
Through acoustic landscapes and intertwining harmonies, they weave stories of freedom and wandering—sailing away from the petrified and predictable, seeking paths where sand meets highway and silence speaks volumes. Each song is a passionate meditation on liberation, memory and finding meaning in an uncertain world.
Through intimate folk-rock soundscapes and poetic lyricism, Not the Jester invites you to venture forward, gaze into the unknown and discover what waits beyond the bend in the road.
