A Restful Sense of Urgency

About the Artist
If you've witnessed the conviction of a preacher colliding with the spirit of an artist, you've just seen Angela Josephine in concert. As a Christian Contemporary/Folk musician and songwriter, Josephine both challenges and charms. The paradox of all Christian sinner-saints is mirrored in her blend of introspective yet demanding lyrics. Never empty, they continually reveal insight into the realization that it is by grace alone that we stand on the promise to be a child of the King.

Josephine’s originality is evident through dynamic and engaging performances. The music pours out through soulful vocals and strong guitar, piano and dulcimer arrangements. Audiences are drawn in by her ability to craft unique stories, art and poetry into an intimate, spiritual self-portrait whereby they glimpse their own likeness. Who could resist painting on a "Community Canvas" or joining her on stage to strum a toy guitar?

Paving a diverse road of appearances, Josephine is more concerned with the rich experience of the journey than the travel-ability of the highway. Her genuine love of people and sharing Christ is the motivation of her sojourns. Attendees of her performances come from all walks of life and are often struck by her honesty and candidness. The testament is clear, and is a reflection of her own journey, pointing towards the One who has carried her through.

"The truth that God really loves us is proven – not that the cross wasn’t enough – but also in that He will allow us to struggle. It is in that struggle, not our perfection, that we are better able to share the grace of Christ."

Aside from performances and recording, Josephine continues to share her time and efforts with many organizations. She is an advocate for Compassion International and presents their mission at her performances. Josephine’s debut CD, a restful sense of URGENCY, meshes riveting vocals with upbeat guitar driven tunes, introspective ballads and her sometimes-edgy lyrics for an eclectic feel made complete by a CD insert that includes original poetry and art. Her commitment is spurred by her faith, and her music reaches beyond the boundaries of genre classification.

"I used to have my conceptions about where I wanted to take my music. I am realizing more and more it is my music that is taking me. And anything beyond that… any good it does anyone… I pray has everything to do with God and nothing to do with Angela Josephine."

Product Description:

This is not cookie cutter music for the masses.
