Raised on a farm in Oklahoma, Nashville Phil’s itinerant life as wrangler, motor mechanic, merchant seaman and much else besides provides the fertile ground in which to grow the tallest of tales. Lyrically adroit and often wickedly funny, his stories teem with vividly drawn characters whose emotional dilemmas and moral ambiguities bring to mind the work of Randy Newman, Loudon Wainwright III and Tom Waits. With a rough-hewn lo-fi sound and a fondness for iconic mid century microphones and vintage amplification, this act defiantly stands out from the crowd. If you’re searching for truly great songs with indelible hooks, propelled by the indestructible backbeat of a resonator guitar, Nashville Phil is your go-to guy.
‘Country Music has survived famine, fires & floods, tornados & blizzards, iron, steel and oil and now it’s being buried in plastic, but NOT by me!’
