..I made the mistake of avoiding the Pernice Brothers for a while, because their name never hit me right... kinda sounds like some crummy country band... please, don't make the same mistake I did.....The Pernice Brothers are an amazing band from Massachusetts, led by singer, songwriter, Joe (yes, "Pernice"). He constructs beautifully literate songs layered with aching vocals... ..Here's a couple of examples of their amazing songcraft... First... from their album "Discover ... MORE

Okay, so I'm just learning how to use this thing. The first album I'm listening to is Butterglory's "Are You Building A Temple In Heaven?" and for some reason it's not showing up in my recently played. Hmmm...I'll get the hang of this thing eventually. The site moves pretty slow. Last night I passed on the opportunity to see one of my favorite bands, the Pernice Brothers. For some reason I just didn't feel like driving down there shortly before I planned to. I think it b... MORE

Last night I drove down to Northampton after a Northfield Christmas party. I was dressed in my party best and in the general holiday spirit, glad to get away from a party where I only knew 4 people and didn't feel a huge desire to get to know the other 12 happy loving couples there.

The Scud Mountain Boys release one verrrry mellow acoustic album way back in 1995 highlighted by Joe Pernice's smooth voice.

Pernice Brothers(Old Ironsides, Sacramento CA, 11/20/06)
I was sad for Pernice Brothers when they last played in Sacramento in December 2003. The turnout on that rainy Monday night was about 45 people, but the show was top-notch regardless. This time the turnout was better, about 80-100, but still lower than deserved, given Joe Pernice's gifts at song craft and the sheer tightness of his band. The audience really took to the opener, Elvis Perkins with his band of three ... MORE
