Tn'T (Trish & Tom), first and foremost are soul mates. The two met as members in the soul-funk band Pryme Tyme (Trish lead vocals, Tom drummer, songwriter, vocals). They write music that is real, funky, melodic, from the soul, the heart, and all else that is good. In 2003 they recorded their debut cd 'Sweet Like Honey'. Often times the question is asked. Did they grow up in households heavily influenced by mom and dads' jazz and soul collection? Or were their parents famous musicians and singers? Absolutely not. There were a few Ray Charles records lying around. The order of the day in Toms' house was usually gospel music. So who and what were their influences? How did they come up with
this eclectic mix of soul and funk? Well first, you have Tom who's from the south and then there's Trish who was born and raised in the north. Their style is simply a reflection of the many hours spent listening to artists such as Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Sly & The Family Stone, Gladys Knight and The Pips, Stevie Wonder, Roberta Flack and many others. Tn'T have been influenced by all genres of music...jazz, blues, hip hop, rock, pop, house, reggae, and every other kind of music under the sun. Oh yeah, and don't forget Toms' uncle Sam Matt, who is one of the most prolific gospel singers ever not heard of.
When Trish & Tom sit down to write, do they want to provoke thought? Of course not, Save the world? No, that's way too complicated, although they feel more love for your fellow man can go a long way. Their first objective is to entertain by making sure they are lyrically real, drawing from their own relationship and life around them. Positivity is a must and the music has to stay funky. James Brown said it best "whatever it is, it's got to be funky". Hopefully these three things come together and somewhere alone the way the listener is uplifted. Finally you ask, do they believe in themselves? Check them out, the answer is obvious.
So where does all this lead to? Ah... now we're getting somewhere. The title is 'Something Good' this is the sophomore release from Tn'T. This cd comes after there first release 'Sweet Like Honey', which kicked down the door
and introduced Tn'T to the world of indie soul. 'Something Good' consist of 17 new tracks with all but four
