Phil’s love of vintage blues, hokum, old-time, and jug band music shines through as he blows the dust off obscure old songs with his intricate picking and driving rhythms on both resonator ukulele and 5-string banjo. His original songs blend perfectly with the vintage, with most listeners believing them to be old songs that passed them by.
