Dig Infinity! — Lord Buckley in the Bardo is an immersive, eighty-minute solo show performed with live, sometimes spontaneous music. It has been presented at the Arts Slope Festival in Brooklyn in 2016, well-attended and received one-nighters at 118 Elliot in Brattleboro, Vermont in 2017; Dixon Place in Lower Manhattan and the Guthrie Center in western Massachusetts in 2018; La Solana in High Falls, New York, in 2019; Hudson Underground Gallery in Hudson, New York, in 2020; Lilypad in Cambridge, Mass. with Jerry Gregoire and a featured presentation at the Lowell Celebrates Kerouac centennial with David Amram and his band in Lowell, Mass. in 2022. In 2019 a five performance California mini-tour visited San Francisco, Berkeley, Topanga Canyon, Joshua Tree and Morro Bay accompanied with opening sets and original music composed and performed by singer-songwriter, poet, multi-instrumentalist, author and educator John Kruth. In 2022, 

Dig Infinity! transpires in a surreal jazz club where, on a midnight after his death, Lord Buckley spins out his life story while demonstrating his signature material. As Buckley holds forth, a dialogue with the audience is interspersed with flashbacks to various points in Lord Buckley’s life, the conversation shifts into a discussion about the importance of truth and art, a topic which includes a trip to the Dark Lands and a cameo by God as it becomes increasingly apparent that Lord Buckley is bargaining for his very soul.
