TN'T(Trish N' Tom)

  
TN'T (Trish N' Tom), first and foremost are soul mates. The two singers, musicians, and songwriters met as members of the soul-funk band Pryme Tyme. This dynamic duo is based in the Greater New York City and the surrounding areas. While their influences are many, the most significant influence would be the music of the seventies. The sound is an eclectic blend of soul, funk, rock, jazz, house, hip hop and gospel. There are no gimmicks, it's simply good music.

Trish and Tom (aka TN'T) have been recording as independent artist since 2003. Their first full length CD was entitled "Sweet Like Honey", followed by the award winning "Something Good" in 2006 and their third album “Don’t Let Go”(2014). In between albums they have released three singles, “Bet Your Money”, “Soul Music(The Remix)”, and “Today”. All of their music has been recorded at their own Light, Laugh, Love studio. Of course there're always inviting some of the funkiest musicians and producers on this planet over to bless the tracks. "Something Good" received an award for one of the best in the Nu Soul category at Soul-Patrol.com.

While most of their work has been in NYC, Long Island and the surrounding areas, TN'T have played shows up and down the east coast of the U.S. Taking stages in cities such as Philadelphia,Pa., Charlotte, N.C., and Atlanta, GA. They've travel and performed abroad in the U.K. There have been stops in quit a few college towns. TN'T along with their band have played a variety of venues, ranging from local clubs to major concert halls. The funky duo has a reputation of performing wherever there's an audience.

Another song "Soul Music" was opening theme song for Soul Freedom Radio Cardiff U.K. "Soul Music" by TN'T was also chosen as the anthem for the Indie Soul Mixer held in Bristol, U.K.

On May 11, 2016 after a year and a half battle with brain cancer (GBM) Trish has made her transition. Though it was a difficult time doing her illness and even tougher after her passing.
