I make music under the name THE PARIS BUNS, and have done so since 2015, when I first put an album of lo-fi acoustic tracks on Bandcamp. I have played in bars, in subway stations, on beaches, and in many other places for ne’er-do-wells around New York, New Jersey, and Boston. Big shows include the 2019 Jersey Shore Festival, the 2024 Melrose Porchfest, during a very rowdy St. Patrick’s Day at Paddy Reilly’s on Second Avenue, and on a Zoom call with the staff of the Internet Archive.
THE PARIS BUNS have released several LPs and EPs, and a handful of singles on all the major streaming platforms. They have also moonlighted as a Mountain Goats cover band.

TOTAL TRACKS AS THE PARIS BUNS: 120
I have also made music as THE WORK FROM HOME SINGERS, a sister group of THE PARIS BUNS, which dabbles in more silly or off-the-cuff ideas. See their discography below as well:
- 2023 – 49 total tracks:
- June: Songs About The Alphabet, Maybe! (LP, 27 tracks). An album where each track starts with the following letter in the English alphabet, a.k.a. A for “Antelopes and Aardvarks”, B for “Beetles For Breakfast”, and so on until Z, “Zipper Got Stuck”. The last track goes back to A, and is called “Antelope Afterword”, therefore creating a cyclical nature.
- September: Live From Verona (LP, 22 tracks). An album where each track is based – loosely, in some cases – on a Shakespeare story or character, such as “Bloody Bloody Richard” about Richard III, “Falling Up” about Falstaff (in rap form), “I’m A Madman” about King Lear, and “Brave New World”, told from the viewpoint of Prospero from “The Tempest” (despite Miranda saying the famous “O, brave new world” quote. I said these songs were loosely adapted.
