OUR NEXT SHOW:
Ernest Patrick Paiz/Gtr/Vox/Founder of Buddha Pie is continuously working on solo projects, specifically electronica music for the media markets.
Performing in open mics in Brooklyn and the Lower East Side of Manhattan, led to onstage performances at noted venues in and around the city.
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.
Performing with former members of Six Iron and 3rd Man Out, the Brooklyn based BUDDHA PIE went through several phases of existence and finally disbanded in the fall of 2003.
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. The stages at the Cabana Club, Sugarbeats, Mo's Grille, Sugarhouse Arts Festival, 5 Monkeys, The Urban Lounge, Mojo's Caffe in Ogden, Burt's Tiki Lounge, Liquid Joe's, The Huka Bar & Grill, The Circuit and many other venues have featured the live performance of the band as well as acoustic solo shows by Ernest Patrick Paiz.
The Gallivan Center's Lunch Bunch Concerts and Earth Jam Production's EarthJam @ Liberty Park have been a yearly host since arriving back. American Cancer Society's Relay for Life and Utah Arts Festival have also seen Buddha Pie on their stages.
