Welcome

Welcome to Phil Redmond's site. Phil is a singer, songwriter, guitarist currently working on his first CD

Phil's songs are dreamy, lush, guitar driven melodic pieces. Elements of rock, blues, folk, jazz, and definate groove are present. Thick harmonies play off the distinctive Stratocaster leads.

If you dig the sounds of Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Dire Straights, Josh Rouse, Fleetwood Mac, or those singer-songwriters from the 70's, then give this a listen.

Now he comes out with the pre-release of his first songs. Take a listen.

 

Bio

Phil lives in Edmonton, Canada. Phil has paid his dues over the years, playing guitar in cover bands since his high school years.

Phil did his first paying gig at 14 years old playing (half-heartedly) in a wedding band. Most of his projects have been rock bands, playing Top 40, grunge, and classic rock. A couple of the bands he played in were Tongue n Groove and The Headlong Walkers. Phil has done a few gigs playing 50's and 60's rock and even played country-rock in many of the small Alberta towns.

Phil was born in Kent, U.K. His family moved around over the next few years as his dad picked up degrees to eventually become a sports history professor. They lived on the channel island of Jersey, in New Zealand, Massachusetts, and eventually settled in Canada.

Phil graduated from the University of Alberta in 1988 with a B.Sc. in bio sciences. He ended up in the digital media and web development field and eventually became a teacher of web development at a college in Edmonton.
