Phil

The CD is almost complete, with only a handful of overdubs to record, and then on to mixing and mastering!

This has been an incredible couple of years, as I’ve been writing, developing, performing, and recording these songs… I believe this is my best collection of songs to date. I’m so proud of it, I can’t stand it!

What’s more, it features some of my favorite musicians, including (in part): Jeff Kimball, Gary Moon, Brendan Coyle, Wayne Davison, Andy and Denise, Jim Gilmour, Kate Blain, Mary Migliozzi, Michele Fay, Tim Price, Lausanne Allen, Kyle Hayden, Aaron Zipp, Adrien Gleason, Glendon Ingalls, Rob Roth, and Aaron Nathans!

Here’s a video preview, including the new studio recording of WQRZ…

However, we need YOUR help to make this project possible! Please pre-order the CD today!

There are many membership levels, which include bonuses, from preview EPs to House Concerts. I included some “pie-in-the-sky” options, if you’re THAT generous!

Please forward this page to your friends and family, who might have seen me play over the years, and who might enjoy the new disc!

THANKS SO MUCH!

Phil
