Butch Philips (a nice Italian-American boy from New York's Spanish Harlem). With influences such as Buddy Holly, Dion, Roy Orbison, the Del Satins & Robert Johnson, it's no wonder his music is so eclectic. He's had the inspiration & insight of some music greats such as Jimmy Ienner, Morty Nevins, Marty "Kaye" Kugell & Vinnie Catalano (to drop some names). His music runs the gamut from easy listening, country, blues & flat out rock & roll, all with a raw,retro vibe! (We're talkin' garage band raw, people!)
