About Joe Pernice

Website | Instagram | Youtube | Spotify 

Joe Pernice is a songwriter celebrated for his rare ability to pair luminous melodies with quietly devastating emotional depth. Over the course of a career spanning more than three decades, Pernice has built a body of work that is literate, melodic, and enduring—music that reveals new layers with each listen.

First gaining attention in the early 1990s with alt-country band Scud Mountain Boys, Pernice later founded the Pernice Brothers, a project that would firmly establish his reputation as one of the most refined songwriters of his generation. From the initial Overcome by Happiness and across numerous albums, his songs have been marked by elegant arrangements, strong pop instincts, and lyrics that balance wit, melancholy, and narrative precision. Drawing from folk, power pop, and chamber pop traditions, Pernice’s music feels both timeless and unmistakably personal. His collaborations with a range of musicians include Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub), Joshua Karp, Neko Case, Aimee Mann, and the iconic Jimmy Webb.

Critics have consistently praised his work for its craftsmanship and emotional intelligence. Major publications including Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Magnet, The Guardian, and Mojo have highlighted his gift for melody and his ability to cloak dark, complex themes in deceptively beautiful songs.

Beyond music, Joe has written one of the first books in the original 33 1/3 book series. His novella explores the Smiths’ Meat is Murder and Catholic high school life in Boston in 1985. Joe’s novel, It Feels So Good When I Stop, is a dark, irreverent story of a young man trying to sort through love, life and commitment.

With his latest album, Sunny, I Was Wrong, Joe continues his signature style of rich storytelling melded with inspired arrangements, each song a world unto its own.

Pete Mancini got his start as the frontman and songwriter of Butchers Blind, a critically acclaimed rock band from NYC. His debut solo album Foothill Freeway explored the Americana influences that were a hallmark of his work with his former band. His second full length album  was released in 2019. His third album Killing the Old Ways was recorded at Dial Back Sound in Water Valley MS and was produced by Matt Patton (Drive By Truckers) and Bronson Tew. Mancini's latest album American Equator sees Patton back at the helm producing, and the result is his most emphatic and focused effort to date. Mancini’s songs have received glowing reviews and radio airplay around the world, and they continue to win over hearts and minds wherever they are heard.
