“A soulfully intimate sound built on timeless brotherly harmonies and raw acoustic strength.” -Hunter Johnson, St. Louis Music
Tom and Rick Pernikoff began composing and playing music together in St. Louis. They spent years honing their skills as instrumentalists on guitar and bass respectively, while immersed in the classic sounds of Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Jackson 5, Pink Floyd, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, and much more.
Tom and Rick focused their attention to Jazz and more improvisation music while living in Boston and studying with world famous musicians and educators, Jon Damian and Bob Nieske. Tom fronted a local Boston band called The Edition along with the Tom Pernikoff Jazz Trio, while earning two degrees from Brandeis University in Economics and Music. After fronting his own band - Fixt, Rick went on to study Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Music at MIT.
The Brothers left Boston in September 2005 and drove cross-country to California to co-found a Silicon Valley startup. With only room in the car for an acoustic guitar and bass, Tom & Rick were left with a stripped down sound that resonated loudly in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Tom & Rick recently wrote and recorded their debut EP – “Go On” - inspired by old & new love, crossroads and untraveled paths.
