About Us
Just really cool music

In late 2020 our drummer, Scott Thomas, left the band to pursue other things. He served us well for many years.
In April 2021, we welcomed Matt Shively as our new drummer.

Who Are the Panini Brothers?
The Panini Brothers are songwriters and musicians who perform a variety of musical styles from blues and jazz to folk and funny. We'll play wherever there is a listening audience.
Are they really brothers? Yes.
We've been jamming together for several years in Sak's studio. We started by exchanging cover songs and doing jams, but moved toward writing and performing our own material. The Panini Brothers have been performing for the last bunch of years in the Roanoke VA/Smith Mountain Lake area, where we all live.
