Austin, TX based Singer/Songwriter Phil Dutra delivers some of the most memorable pop tunes of the past several years. As the Atlanta Journal-Constitution said of the recent L.A. Transplant: "Our loss is Hollywood’s gain...Dutra’s sunny, Shimmering melodic brand of pop and witty wordplay remains intact, even surrounded by earthquakes and ’round the clock traffic jams." Phil’s newly released EP "Right Behind The Rain" has already started to garner praise. His song "Let Me Be Your Superman" has been chosen "Track of the day" at the influential web site Garageband.com and his song "She Walks Away" won the National Michael Lloyd song contest at the TAXI Road Rally held in Hollywood, CaliforniaPhil sounds like the love child of REM and Barenaked Ladies on a hit of XTC.
