Scott Klopfenstein stepped into a tour bus at the tender age of seventeen and lived half his life on the road touring as a vocalist/multi-instrumentalist in Reel Big Fish. Over his seventeen-year stretch with the band, Scott played for countless thousands of fans, gallivanted across television screens and stages worldwide, as well as starting his own project, The Littlest Man Band.

In 2005, he abandoned the sun-drenched streets of California to relocate to New York. Five years later, Scott left the road to begin a family. Start over. Control-Alt-Delete.

Scott spent fifteen years discovering fatherhood and attempted to build a creative foundation in NYC. His journey connected him with Catya McMullen, a brilliant playwright who fueled Scott to compose music for various theater projects. With a little help from his friends, Scott released Welcome to New York / The Hilarious in 2019. The two song EP is a whimsical love note to the city that holds so much promise and yet darkly devours creative types searching for their place in it all. Not long after, Scott hosted several segments in the independent documentary film Pick It Up! - Ska in the '90s where he interviewed unsuspecting New Yorkers about ska music.
