Boy Oh Boy Boy Oh Boy
Finally a new song, for most of you new college folks, a song to help you cope with maybe a rough year.
Minute Minute
A laid back summer jam. This song is about how people worry too much about other's problems and not enough on their own. It's a carefree song, a mix of Jack Johnson and Dispatch.
4 Years Ago (Demo) 4 Years Ago (Demo)
Just in time for graduation. This is a song about how 4 years ago you were a totally different person. After all the changing is done you head into another 4 years and you change again. Enjoy all classes of 2004.
Summer Sky Summer Sky
A quiet relaxing song, like lying on your back watching clouds go by. Poetic eh?

A songwriter who's passion and search for quality music is neverending. He never quits on himself, pushing to get a better result all the time. From guitar ballads, to piano rock, he experiments with what sounds good, and what people like to hear.Band/artist history
Well I was born in Nutley NJ, oh you mean like how I started playing? I started playing under the supervision of a blues wizard also named Phil. Which is where I get a very strong blues influence and love for the blues, though I choose to not play the blues cause they supposedly are "boring" or "old". I played with a band named Impulse for a year writing original music for them until I decided a songwriters best friend is his own acoustic guitar. After recording a new album "Here's To...You" and having it do surprisingly well at our school, I have been working solo again. We did a concert on the 24th which was pretty successful. Now I'm working solo again on new material for another CD.Have you performed in front of an audience?I used to, haven't in awhile. Would like to get a band together and try some songs live.
Your musical influences
The Who, Dave Matthews, Damien Rice, Pete Yorn, Ben Folds, Ryan Adams, Billy Joel. As you can see I'm into singer-songwriters. My style reflects that influence.What equipment do you use?
An Ibanez acoustic, an Ibanez Roadstar Series, a Casio keyboard, and an MR-8 Multitrack recorder.Anything else?

Listened to "Fairy Tale" Phil. I really enjoy the lyrics and the harmonic progression. Seems like sometimes your piano and guitar chords don't exactly line up. I'd love to hear the vocals brought forward more!
I did into the woods as highschool senior. I was the witch!! Great Play, and great dedication to this song. If into the woods was redone for a modern audience, i can COMPLETELY hear this song playing in the background during credits OR during one of the inbetween scenes (Maybe for Cinderella?)
Hmm... Ending was cool! Were you trying to go for a "I wish!" with the piano? It was just a 2nd too low.
Well, anyway, that's my 2 cents! I think you've got a lot of talent and I really enjoy your voice and listening to your music! If you're interested, I've got a couple of originals myself. We seem to be both influenced by similar forces (john mayer, classical vivaldi) so you might enjoy it! Cover of Daughters is my biggest hit, then Bite My Tongue and Pilot Light. I
Really all it is healthy. I listen and enjoy. Though itself such I do not write. Call on!!! At me absolutely fresh tracks. Good luck!!!
Hey there Phil, I'm just writing to tell you that I can't wait to see your concert at Blair...Carina and I are so stoked for it : ) I just listened to the new song, Rise, it's amazing!
Love, NiFer
