Jonathan Coulton is an esoteric folk rock singer. He was first featured singing "Midnight Train to Georgia" with the Yale Whiffenpoofs. He is now the Contributing Troubadour at Popular Science as well as the Musical Director for The Little Gray Book Lectures.

Most of Coulton's songs focus on intellectual, geeky, scientific topics such a man who is "de-evolving" into a monkey, a strange loner who dreams of destroying the world and giving half-monkey, half-pony monsters to his girlfriend, and the dangers of bacteria. His music is both humorous and pleasant to listen to. He is also the author of a 5 song set that was distributed in the September 2005 issue of Popular Science as well a contributing author to Popular Science.
