Since being named Songwriter of the Year at The Troubadour in LA back in the 90s for his song Stress, Jim Infantino has toured the US and the UK with his band Jim’s Big Ego. He has appeared repeatedly on The Doctor Demento Show and NPR’s All Things Considered, and recorded 12 albums. His songs are alternately hilarious and thought provoking. Never satisfied with chasing hits songs, his music surprises and inspires in unique ways.
His novels, The Wakeful Wanderer’s Guide trilogy, explore a possible future in which half of society has abandoned money, communicating mind-to-mind by way of neural implants. The main character, Marto, is a unicycling historian, trying to revive an understanding of history amid a culture that has grown overly insular.
Jim runs a weekly podcast with his friend, Lionel Cassin called ‘funny,’ not funny in which they discuss books, history, music, movies, and culture.
Jim also teaches meditation at mindfulaware.com, and runs a design company called Slabmedia.
