Shawn Phillips May 23, 2009

Shawn Phillips helped define folk-rock in the 1960s and progressive-new-age rock in the 1970s. He is an accomplished musician, poet, composer and actor. Shawn has written music for movie soundtracks and for symphony orchestras. He has performed a healthy amount of session work. Shawn was called "The best kept secret in the music business," by the late rock impresario Bill Graham.

Shawn Phillips has almost twenty albums to his credit (of which millions have been sold) and a host of associations with some of the most respected names in the industry including Donovan, Paul Buckmaster, J. Peter Robinson, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood and many others. "...an artist of such raw talent, ambition and good will...Phillips' main attraction is still his voice. Reedy and flexible, with a remarkable falsetto, it is a potent dramatic instrument." - Roling Stone Magazine.
