Whom You Know was created because people like Will and Anthony Nunziata exist.
Once upon a time Peachy Deegan spent 4 fantastic years in Chestnut Hill, and wanted to be a journalist and turn the whole world into a place where people excel, and if she couldn't do that, she was going to recognize the people that are excelling.  Whom You Know is the celebration of excellence across the board, and these two know what Ever to Excel is because they live it, they breathe it, and most importantly, they sing it.  And you've got to listen to it.  They guide us with their grace and "The Prayer" will truly move you, among the eleven songs.  
The best 32 minutes your ears are going to have are when you pop in the latest and greatest by Movers and Shakers Will & Anthony Nunziata, who were bred to pursue excellence!
Here's Will:
Here's Anthony:
As we've said before, we do very, very, very few music reviews because we only write on the best, and we find very few new albums that blow us away.  Peachy is so picky if she is shopping she walks out of a store if she doesn't like a song.  If a store was playing "Make Someone Happy," she'd walk IN.

It kicks off with a strong start with "Everybody Says Don't" that you'll find awakening and punchy, and tells you to listen to yourself.  It's followed by our second favorite, "Make Someone Happy." Everyone knows this song but no one has heard it from such a smashing duo before! Their upbeat voices resonate and bring an added maturity from the time we first heard them, which was of course at a BC event. In fairness we thank Mr. and Mrs. Nunziata - Peachy was having cocktails with them and they said their sons were going to sing. They weren't kidding either! They have sung and the world has now listened.

You've all heard "When I Fall in Love" before as well, but not with such feeling. Their crescendos are simply amazing and set the standard today for what contemporary jazz should be. "Pretty Woman" is not the one you know from the movie with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, it is one you will want to know especially since the music and lyrics are from Stephen Sondheim.  "I Cannot Hear the City" is a lovely ballad that will capture you from the start.  "Smile" is our favorite song on the entire album.  You could listen to it on repeat all day.  And we do!  "Nothing to Lose But Your Heart" is an inspiration to listen to ideal to begin the day with and it celebrates Carpe Diem for us.  "A Ray of Hope" is similarly inspirational.  The entire album is the epitome of the word positive, and happy days are here again.
They are at the Columbus Day Parade:

That's two years in a row too!  Which is going to turn into 3, 4, 5...we're not saying that only because they're our friends, we're saying that because that is how fantastic they are.
They are going to be a household name, that is if they aren't yet, and we told you first we hope!

Whom You Know Highly Recommends "Make Someone Happy" by Will & Anthony Nunziata. They are the new modern classic, and they are here to stay.
