Phil Stahl made a career of a simple idea: If you want a local music scene, create one. As an open mic host, Phil encourages anyone who wants to perform to get up and play, sing, recite, and reach for the stars. As a bonus, Phil shares a few of the songs he's written with us - and talks about his brushes with fame, and the colorful characters who fill his open mic slots. For more information about Phil, check him out at philstahl.com, where you can watch his performance, find his next show, and listen to his showcase musicians and friends.
