Babysitting
Comic • affectionate • late-night
A New Year’s rave, two exuberant parents, and one son unexpectedly promoted to responsible adult.
“Real life is stranger than fiction, and that’s where the good songs live.”
— Jimmy NorquistAbout Jimmy
A singer-songwriter for real life
Jimmy Norquist’s songs live where folk storytelling meets dry humor: parents at a rave, a childhood fear that becomes a career lesson, a newspaper story that ruins your morning, a father’s strange game that finally makes sense years later.
The visual world is equally specific—worn wood, brass, road cases, old microphones, acoustic guitars, and a little steampunk mischief—but the songs stay centered on people.
