CAPTAIN VAMPIRE

Captain Vampire was launched in 2019 by songwriter and producer Nick Paraggio. Relocating to Boston in 2021, they have since established a small, dedicated following for their thoughtful lyricism and equal capacity for gentle grace and blistering viscerality. Their most recent EP, Hiatus Songs (2025) is available on all major platforms.

Now in its third incarnation as a live band, Nick is joined for live performances by harmonium player and vocalist Maggi Paraggio, who is also their spouse. Please get in touch via info@captvampire.com for all inquiries.

Praise for Captain Vampire

“Captain Vampire sounds like the best-case scenario of a theater kid making folk punk … they’ve taken these narratives and are retelling them but with such passion that it doesn’t come off as cheesy but rather quite compelling.”

Folk Punk Archivist

“…dramatic, punk-meets-emo songs [in] powerful high energy territory.”
