01 / THE ARTIST

His own mind.
His own sound.

Folk at the roots. Blues at heart. Rock ’n’ roll in his fingers.

Michael Phillips brings original songwriting together with expressive fingerstyle guitar. One voice, an acoustic guitar, and stories that take a path of their own.

His music draws on American folk and blues of the sixties, bringing those influences together with his own ideas. His twelve-string guitar and fingerstyle playing stand alongside his voice and the stories in his songs.

Here you can discover his albums Never Slow Down and Life at First Sight and listen to selected samples. Explore the concert dates to experience Michael live, or get in touch about concerts, festivals and club shows.
