New York City-based Jim Andralis went from member of queer NYC punk band The Isotoners to featured performer in Joe’s Pub monthly variety show, Our Hit Parade. His 2016 solo debut, Your Dying Wish Come True, garnered critical acclaim with The Miami Herald christening it, “One of the best solo debut discs of the year.” Joined by The Syntonics, he took flight with Shut Up Shut Up [2018] and My Beautiful Enemy [2020]. Among various collaborations, he teamed up with Bridget Everett [Somebody Somewhere, Patti Cake$] on “Hit The Ground Fuckin’” and lent his voice to Champagne Jerry’s The Champagne Room alongside the likes of Adam “Ad Rock” Horovitz [The Beastie Boys] and Murray Hill. In addition, he works as a trauma-focused psychotherapist in private practice, performs regularly with husband/ hunk Larry Krone and co-hosts country music variety show Grand Ole Pubry at Joe’s Pub. He recently opened for Bikini Kill at Irving Plaza in NYC. Jim Andralis’ fifth LP is coming August of 2024. Ghosts will contain eleven songs about grief, exploring whatever connections may or may not exist between the living and those who have passed. “Something in me cannot fathom that someone can exist one second and be gone the next. I hate it. It happens all the time and it always levels me. And music somehow is the answer. When I sing, I connect with all of them, all of me, and anyone listening who’s willing to go there with me.”
