Your audience, like so many before, will be thrilled to experience the new/old voice of one of contemporary Americana's best, and songs that will stay with them long after the show. A Philadelphia Phil performance, whether solo or with the band, is always lively, fast-paced, intimate and completely original, no matter if it's a living room or huge festival setting.
Philadelphia Phil has played Bier Brewery on several occasions and it has always been a fun and enjoyable show. I recommend him to anyone looking for a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!
I manage "McGowan Hall" in downtown Indianapolis. Phil plays at the Hall monthly and has helped us improve programming, lighting, sound, video, and more. He is easy to work with, a proven pro, and genuinely interested in building strong community and a "scene" with talented musicians.

Expect great original Americana (Country, Blues, Rockabilly, Swing, Folk and Western music) along with fresh interpretations of traditional songs.
Maybe the song is an ode to a great music city (New Orleans Goin' Down), or a ballad for displaced workers (Everything's Goin' Away), an ironic Country Blues dedicated to breaking up (Burn You Mama, Mercy), or a new classic prison lament (New Graveyard Blues). Only Philadelphia Phil can switch from a timeless West Texas ballad (I Wonder Who's Loving Her Tonight) to a Country song about a Gypsy woman in Spain (I Thought She Was a Gypsy), then shift again into a swampy Blues (Born in East Saint Louie) without missing a beat.

Singer, songwriter, guitarist and poet, Philadelphia Phil, writes and sings of days on the road, rowdy nights, love and loss, sorrow and redemption, the real grit of the street and wild journeys into myth and fantasy. His forms range from great American folk music to Irish waltzes, western swing, honky-tonk two steps and ragtime blues, his characters from hobos to heroes of American letters.
It's been asked rhetorically, "Who writes a Texas song about a 17th Century Spanish author, Pablo Picasso, San Miguel beer and dreams (La Vida es Sueño), or a love song to a Gypsy Queen in Sevilla (I Thought She Was a Gypsy), or puts Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie and Kubla Khan into a second line dance down Rampart Street (Me, Woody, Bob and You)?" Philadelphia Phil does. And, there are beautiful songs from the heart (I Wonder Who's Loving Her Tonight, My Beautiful Way Back When, I Will Be With You), tributes to our ancestors (Taps Played in the Rain, Grandpa's Fiddle), and uplifting celebrations of a life in music (We'll Sing Again, Get on Down to New Orleans).
Performing solo, or with a world class ensemble, Philadelphia Phil & Friends, his songs and stories have touched audiences from Kansas to New Jersey, Michigan to New Orleans, and are certain to make an indelible impression on any crowd, anywhere.
