As a musician, he has played more than 1,000 shows around the world as a singer and guitarist in Jukebox the Ghost, a long-running piano-pop band with a cult fanbase whose tour history includes festivals like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza as well as late-night TV shows including Letterman and Conan. He juggles both pastimes with copious amounts of coffee.
