An amalgamation of years of playing together in various forms, The Littlest Man Band was created by Scott Klopfenstein as a release for frantic home recording sessions that had left him with a multitude of songs. Scott hand-picked his bandmates from friends he had played with throughtout the years in many different genres, resulting in a melting pot of sounds that is refreshingly versatile. The music created thus far has proven to be an unclassifiable mix of jazz, singer-songwriter, tounge in cheek, experimental cocktail that has a truly unique quality. Armed with two piece horn section, a fender rhodes, an upright bass, guitar, drums, and vocals all over the place The Littlest Man's debut album "Better Book Ends" will prove to be a truly outstanding first stab.
