“…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. ” that’s what Rolling Stone Magazine had to say about Shawn Phillips, a musician whose work literally fits into no category.

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, yet he is virtually forgotten except by his cadre of loyal fans. The Texas-born singer/songwriter was called “The best kept secret in the music business,” by the late rock impresario Bill Graham.

Beginning in the 1960s, Phillips made noteworthy contributions to popular music. He performed at the “Isle of Wight” festival and was cast to play the lead in the original production of “Jesus Christ Superstar” (he had to withdraw due to his heavy recording and touring schedule.)
