1967 – January 19, 2000
Josh Clayton-Felt is best remembered as the lead singer for Boston-area psychedelic pop band, School of Fish. Formed in 1989, the band signed with Capitol Records just as “alternative rock” was beginning to fuel a feeding frenzy at the major labels. The band’s debut self-titled album included the swirling “3 Strange Days,” a modern rock radio hit at the time. The band’s follow-up album failed to click, so School of Fish called it quits, sending Clayton-Felt off on a solo career. In 1996, he signed with A&M Records and had another moderate hit which lead to a tour with Tori Amos. In late 1999, Josh Clayton-Felt was diagnosed with testicular cancer which lead to his death on January 19, 2000.
