Phil fronted vocals and keyboards in more than 500 gigs in the northeast. Too many gigs involved hauling heavy gear up icy steps in the snow before Phil moved to coastal Florida in 2001 (kind of a no-brainer, huh? - bodysurfing instead of plowing and shoveling). So the transatlantic sailor traded in his snow shovel and plow for a plastic beach shovel, new keyboards and computer, and is now recording his second hundred originals. He claims that some of the songs sound even better than a snow shovel. This album is 1 RADIO PHIL's call to party and dance. Music industry analysts have heaped praise on Phil's guitar player, Phil: Try "Big Guy" and "Over the Sky". And 1 RADIO PHIL's backup singers, Clorine and Citrenella (he keeps them locked in a keyboard), can't wait to sing for you.
1 RADIO PHIL's music has been described as being a catchy and ingenious blend of heavy and light, hard and soft, new and old, and rough and smooth. Phil attended the University of Maine Music Division. Do you care? The main thing is the music, REALLY huh?! He has also live-mixed concerts for hundreds of national acts, including Leslie West and Mountain, Reba McIntire, B.B. King, Johnny Paycheck, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bill Monroe, Alison Krauss, and Chubby Checker.
Now, how 'bout a little hot rock, ranging from classic and tavern rock to alternative indie? Try "The Password", "One Left Shoe", "Big Guy", "I See You Too", "To Find You", "Dance Right Now", and "Knock Knock" (the song that still doesn't really answer the time old question). Do you groove on the blues? Try Phil's "Oh Me" (do you hear the Newark NJ radio gospel music influences here?), "Bad Man" (true story about a really nice friend), or "Beautiful Day" (ever hear blues not moaning about a really great day?). Like instrumental rock? Try "Over the Sky" inspired by Jimi Hendrix, or "Rocky Mountain Railroad", Phil's VH1 Song of the Year finalist. The same sources listed above also offer Phil's previous instrumental album "Gulfstream Gondolier," featuring a worldly upbeat selection of often tropical based rhythms and tunes.
Btw, 1 RADIO PHIL played and sang all that you hear. You'll hear influences from Africa, Newark NJ radio gospel music, Leslie West, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Walsh, Bob Marley, and probably someone else. Fire up that sub woofer, twist the tweeter, and crank it baby! Catch the humor. Keep careful track of your fingers and toes while dancing. Have fun, and . . . Believe your ears!
