Pete Mancini

I am happy to announce that Flying First Class is available now wherever fine music is streamed or sold via Diversion Records. Purchase/streaming links available at the Diversion Records website.

“It’s hard to believe Mancini hails from this area; his earnest voice and songs of world-weary struggles put him in line as a worthy successor to John Prine and John Hiatt as a premiere singer/songwriter whose work is destined to be covered by dozens of artists.”- Good Times Magazine

“Mancini explores a rich palette of sounds across these nine tracks, infusing each with an authentic love for roots music and the tools it offers to tell tales of people facing down troubles of all kinds with little more than heart and grit to get themselves by.” – The Daily Vault

“Flying First Class is a first-rate roots rock album, and reveals Mancini’s considerable flair over a range of songwriting styles.” – Americana Highways

“High lonesome melancholy that sits at the corner between Americana and blues… that kind of sincerity is as punk as it gets.” – Adobe and Teardrops

I am also happy to announce the Flying First Class Summer tour! Sign up for the mailing list to get the most up to date schedule. There are also new merch items available right here on the website. Neat!

My new album Flying First Class is available for pre-order on Diversion Records! It will be available wherever fine music is streamed or sold on May 3rd.

“[My Hometown] addresses the sorrow and angst with fearlessness, and in the current sociopolitical climate, it’s a necessary proclamation aimed at archaic traditions of middle America.”
– B-Sides & Badlands

“[My Hometown] is music that’ll put some spring in your step — if you don’t listen too close. No matter what, you’ll be singing along with the chorus.”
– Adobe & Teardrops

My Hometown is available now at Diversion Records or wherever fine music is streamed or sold!
