The Pernell Reichert Band are a three piece band from Vancouver, Canada. Their music has been described as fast folk, alt folk, alt country, acid country, country punk, or cow punk.
In 2004, after several years as a treeplanter, hobo, roughneck and solo artist, Pernell formed the band in order to secure bigger gigs.
The current line-up consists of Pernell on acoustic guitar, electric slide guitar, harmonica, banjo, and vocals; Matt MacDougall on bass and background vocals; and Tom Tischer on drums and background vocals. The band's live act features fast folky songs, electric slide guitar songs, foot stomping banjo songs, solo acoustic songs and witty banter with the audience.
Pernell Reichert is a folk singer/songwriter/fast finger picker. His songs reflect his experiences on the road of life and on the highways of the world. His style of guitar playing has been described as high energy, fast finger picking numbers that keep the listener intrigued. When he is performing with his band the tempo is upbeat with a full thick sound, whether he is playing his acoustic, hollow bodied electric slide, or banjo.
In 2005 the band went on a month long tour of western Canada toting only the solo albums but playing few songs from them. In 2007 they embarked on several four to five day tours slowly breaking into the Canadian touring circuit. In 2008 they finally released the …

In 2007 they embarked on several four to five day tours slowly breaking into the Canadian touring circuit. In 2008 they finally released their first self titled album following it up with a 39 day tour of western Canada. Pernell then spent most of that summer on the road touring solo hitting the Kootenay area of British Columbia, and Southern Ontario. In late 2008 the band went international with a 10 day tour of South Africa.
2009 and early 2010 were spent off the road and in the studio, recording the much anticipated second band album.
2011 saw the release of The Pernell Reichert Band EP, a four song EP including a live performance recorded in South Africa.
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere, any room, The Pernell Reichert Band will never fail to entertain.
