John Linnell

John Linnell is one-half of They Might Be Giants, the quirky Brooklyn duo who have spread their offbeat pop mastery over almost two decades and grown up from nerd-rock outsiders to Grammy-winning nerd-rock insiders.

Linnell and his partner-in-crime John Flansburgh each have indulged in side projects in the later years of the group's existence, and the former's primary outlet is his State Songs project, in which he attempts to record a song for each of the 50 United States of America. Good luck.
