BIO
Jersey Shore native and Brooklyn/Catskill, NY resident, Jim Malone, has traveled many roads. As a band leader and solo artist he’s opened for Little Feat, Tori Amos, Edie Brickell, Phish, Widespread Panic, NRBQ, Nils Lofgren and more. Starting in the 90’s, Malone was at the forefront of the jam band craze with Left Exit in Virginia, and the alt-country movement with Standpipe in Manhattan.
Despite successful career detours in animation (He was the voice director for the original Pokemon TV series and produced four popular Saturday morning cartoons.) and woodworking/furniture design (founder of the sustainable furniture brand, CounterEvolution whose tables can be found in over 200 Shake Shacks world-wide.), Malone has been a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and audio engineer, on and off, through it all.

BIO (cont.)
His prolific career started at age 8, studying piano under Felix Molzer, a former director of the Vienna Boys Choir, whose austerity might have turned Jim away from music had he not discovered The Beatles and taught himself guitar. By age 14, he had formed his first band, HOT ICE, which rocked the 8th grade dance at Holy Cross Elementary School on the Jersey Shore, where he grew up.
After graduating from the University of Richmond in Virginia with a degree in Economics, Malone spent another 4 years touring the South with Left Exit.
After Left Exit, Malone returned to the Jersey Shore and released a solo CD, Stronger Than Silence, on Safety Net Records, before making his way to New York’s Lower East Side where he built a recording studio (Little Big Horn) and formed the alt-country band, Standpipe.
In the late 90’s, Malone turned his attention to animation—specifically, anime, first as a voice director, then as a producer. But, songwriting still managed to play a role in Jim’s creative output as he wrote over 20 theme and featured songs for several Saturday morning cartoons.
In 2006, Jim left the world of animation for woodworking, which started with the building of a log cabin in Catskill, NY, and grew into CounterEvolution, Jim’s sustainable furniture brand.
In 2007, Jim began releasing the Malone Alone albums, starting with Red, which was followed by Orange in 2009. But, the series stalled as the demands of running CounterEv increased. Then, as a result of the pandemic, CounterEv closed its doors and Malone began building his dream recording studio on his Catskill property. He opened Little Big North, a recording studio retreat, to the public in 2023.
His return to music means that, along with producing other artists, he’s picked up the Malone Alone series where it left off. MA Yellow was released in 2025, and Green in June of 2026.
