Michael

Theme: To change by overcoming fear

A Seattle, WA native, adventurer, mystic and seeker – I strive for freedom upon the road less traveled in this world and the next.

Divinatory Meaning: New beginnings into the vast unknown

When I appear, realize nirvana through manifestation of one's positive will; conscious thought and action as a means to enlightenment; music as the medium to inspire greatness beyond fear - into the vast unknown full of beautiful beasts and other wonderful things.

Rachael

Theme: Hope and inspiration

Maryland raised and Washington grown; lover of song, dance and animals large and small; empathy without judgement; artisan of secret languages and a higher calling achieved through understanding and grace.

Divinatory Meaning: Radiance through the dark; courage through the positive

When I appear, realize hope as a beacon to navigate your way home; experience optimism and encouragement as the roadmap to your dreams; rejuvenation, inspiration and renewal of your sacred energy.

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.

“NOT THE JESTER always; the common sense of a man is found in his seriousness, for wisdom ranks higher than wit. He who is always the buffoon, is really never the man. He classes himself with the liar, in that neither is believed; not the later because his word is doubted; and not the former, because of his scoffing. For it is never known if what was said was weighed in the mind, which in no instance can have been much. There is nothing more banal than continuous banter. Thus some get the reputation of being witty, but they endanger thereby their reputation of being wise. The humorous may be allowed its moment, but for all the rest, the serious.”

— The Art of Worldly Wisdom, Baltasar Gracian
