In 2000, he worked with Anthony Rapp to release the album Look Around.

The band released their album, Ganging Up on the Sun, June 20, 2006. He later teamed up with k.d. lang and the Siss Boom Bang, co-producing and co-writing much of Sing It Loud.[3] He produced the Ben Folds Five album "The Sound of the Life of the Mind," released in 2012. He performs pedal steel guitar on Jennifer Knapp's 2014 album Set Me Free.

On March 19, 2015, he released his second solo album, "Nightvision," along with three singles: "Burned Out," "Suitcase and Guitar," and "Wake My Heart." The release of "Nightvision" coincided with an installment of an ongoing live performance series "The Pisapia Love-In" in Nashville, TN.
