Band - Tony Phillips

- Age 46 | Band | Silver Spring, MD
Bio
-
Been playing guitar for over 30 years, play all styles (rock, jazz, blues, country, folk), rhythm and lead. In recent years I have mostly favored duos and small combos, but I have an interest in getting back with a full band. I have a Sunday morning church gig with a rock band and I enjoy that gig.
I'm easy going, a professional-quality musician who reads (I minored in music in college). Ideally I would like to work with a band that plays a mix of covers and originals and plays paying gigs. I play electric and acoustic guitars and can also play bass and keys. I can sing lead and backup and I'm competent but nothing special as a singer.

Experience
- Have played in many gigging bands since I was a teenager. Have also done a fair amount of studio work, particularly in the mid-90s when I lived in L.A. and worked closely with a production company doing TV and radio spots.
Looking For
- I'm open to a number of things, but I really prefer working with a female singer/songwriter.
I'm a huge trip-hop fan, but of course that's pretty hard to find and I'm not sure there's much of a market for that style. So I find ways to slip elements of it into other things.
