Mt. Juliet is an indie singer-songwriter duo comprised of twins Sami and Reny Petrucci. And no, they are not identical.
Based in Brooklyn, NY, Mt. Juliet’s sound blends introspective, nostalgic lyrics with brooding acoustic guitar. Their harmonies are bound to break your heart (just like the people who inspired them to write most of the band’s songs). Mt. Juliet’s influences include Mitski, Elliott Smith, Neutral Milk Hotel, and Pinegrove.
Originally from St. James, NY, the siblings grew up in a musical family and have been playing and studying music for most of their lives. Reny graduated from Berklee College of Music with a BFA in Songwriting, while Sami studied Drama at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. Thanks to their shared upbringing, Mt. Juliet’s music offers a unique perspective, exploring their childhoods and the moments of heartbreak they supported each other through. After all, they literally shared a womb.

The twins have been writing and performing together for almost two years, building their fan base at venues like The Cutting Room and Pete’s Candy Store in NY. Recently, Mt. Juliet had the privilege of opening for iconic guitarist Andy McKee, performing for packed audiences at City Winery in Chicago and St. Louis.
Sami and Reny released the single “Mirror” in October 2024, accompanied by a music video directed by Mike Leonard. The track features Mt. Juliet’s signature moody power chords and harmonies, along with cinematic strings and powerful drums. The duo also partnered with sE Electronics to release an acoustic version of their song “No Opposite.” Their upcoming single, “What You Can Say to Me Now,” is set to drop in Fall 2026, leading up to the release of their debut EP.
