Phil Circle

Phil Circle is not exactly what you expect when you hear singer-songwriter-guitarist. His lively solo performances reflect the energy of his full band shows. His blending of musical styles confuses the mainstream ear. HIs thought provoking lyrics require that you listen to his stories. With more than 25 years rooted in Chicago's music scene, even when he lived elsewhere, he has remained a frontline musician and strong advocate of the independent acts working strictly for the love of it. His book "The Outback Musicians' Survival Guide" reflects on his life in music as well as the world every independent artist is challenged by. As a music coach, he has brought these experiences and his knowledge of technique and theory to hundreds of young and aspiring musicians, many of whom now make their living in the same way. With eight official releases and a few "accidental" ones, he has yet to receive a negative review and often receives press simply for his advocacy of the arts and an independent spirit that has kept him going from the start. With a unique and yet accessible style truly his own, Phil Circle is sure to be around for many more years.
