Glenn Phillips is a critically acclaimed guitarist and composer who’s released 20 albums over the past 50 years. Lowell George of Little Feat called him "the most amazing guitarist I've ever seen," and from Rolling Stone: "If rock & roll guitarists were kamikaze pilots, Glenn Phillips would be in heaven right now."
As a founding member and songwriter of the Hampton Grease Band in the late '60s, he played with countless artists of the era including John Lennon, Frank Zappa, The Grateful Dead, Fleetwood Mac, The Allman Brothers, and Jimi Hendrix (Phillips is a featured interviewee in the Hendrix documentary Electric Church).
His first solo album, 1975's Lost at Sea, was recorded at home and self-released. It predated and influenced the do-it-yourself movement that later overtook rock music, and it led famed entrepreneur Richard Branson to sign Phillips to Virgin Records.
In the years since, he's toured and recorded regularly with his own group and collaborated with artists as diverse as Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, Pete Buck of REM, and Cindy Wilson of the B-52s. The one constant throughout his career has been that his music has remained as unique as it is acclaimed. From Guitar Player, "A supremely musical player, Phillips has something few musicians attain: a voice of his own."
