James Mercer is the founder of The Shins, a Grammy-nominated American band formed in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1996. Their debut full-length album, Oh, Inverted World, caused a seismic shift in the indie rock world upon its release in 2001, singlehandedly ushering in the modern era of the genre. With six full length albums released to date, the band continues to redefine and push the boundaries of indie and alternative music. James lives in Portland, Oregon, with his family. Book of Dreams is his first children’s book.
