THE SONG & GUITAR MAN
ONE LIFE.
HIS OWN SOUND.
Songwriter. Singer. Guitarist. Michael Phillips makes music with conviction and a deep feeling for its American roots.
VIENNA BORN. AMERICAN HEARTED.
DER WEG / THE JOURNEY
Every song
has a story.
A first guitar at eight. Original songs at fifteen. The curiosity never left.
His musical roots lie in the American folk and blues of the sixties. He developed a language of his own: songs about people and their contradictions, alongside guitar instrumentals.
Twelve strings. Many colours.
He plays by ear. Acoustic fingerstyle meets dobro, electric guitar and harmonica. Since 1998 he has mostly returned to the stage as a solo artist.
