Phil Favorite
Originally from Chicago, Phil has been playing and appreciating live music for a quite a while. Phil’s prime location in the Windy City gave him the opportunity to see the beginnings of the Alt-Country musical explosion (certainly before that term was ever uttered). Phil is a guitarist and singer in several different Portland musical projects and attends multiple live performances every week around the City of Roses. Phil is passionate about his Chicago sports teams and always enjoys a fine glass of whiskey in front of a great local band.

  1. These podcasts are great. People at work always stop and ask what music I’m listening to. 🙂

    “Pete Berwick is one of the best things to happen to punk-infused, alt-country leaning, folk music since Johnny Cash made his impact on this planet. There is no other entertainer in the business that works as hard or harder than Pete Berwick, hands down! Island is the next step in the evolution of a master craftsman who refuses to slow down, become complacent or allow the status quo to interfere with his art.”
