We have been busy, but before I recap, I wanted to let you know that today is BANDCAMP FRIDAY, the day when Bandcamp waives their cut, and just about all of the money you spend on music on that site finds its way into the pockets of the artists you are patronizing (and then likely into the hands of the student loan people or the mortgage company).
To celebrate this, we have greatly reduced the prices of the back catalog of Joe Pernice and associated associates. You’ll find lots of bargains for one day only, including many $20 or less albums and $5 CDs. Stock up and save!
As for new music, in case you missed it, New West released a Pernice Brothers single a couple of weeks ago, and we’re getting ready for the April 5, 2024 release of Pernice Brothers’ first album in five long years. You can pre-order it from a bunch of different places, including Bandcamp. New West direct has clear vinyl; Bandcamp offers an exclusive streaming pre-release track plus clear vinyl; and Rough Trade has an exclusive flexi-disc with an unreleased track. And you can of course pre-order from many of your favorite indie stores.
And Joe is doing a few solo shows coming up. Hoping to add more later. Links for tickets below.
Wednesday, February 7, The 5 Spot, Nashville (with special guest John Strohm)
Thursday, March 14, Private Space, Toronto

If you live in one of those places, we would love to see you!
Thanks, as always for your support. It means the world to us.
