Join us at REVERBNATION ~ Full band / Electronica / Solo Project
Ernest Patrick Paiz/Gtr/Vox/Founder of Buddha Pie is continuously working on solo projects, specifically electronica music for the media markets.

The Sidewalk Cafe, Desmonds, Williamsburg Publik House, Artland, C-Note, Club Matchless and The Charleston are only a few of the stages Buddha Pie played on. Repeated performances at these venues and others had his friends and fans snapping to the rhythm of his music, enjoying the night long.

Arriving back to SALT LAKE CITY in March, 2004, his continued effort to write, record, and perform are non-stop. Buddha Pie spent the remaining months of 2004 writing and recording. He also continued performing solo sets throughout Salt Lake City.
