About Me

In the 70's I was born with my hands on a bass and a microphone in my face. In the late 80's/early 90's I was a alpha battery, 3/44, 32 air defense, gunner on a 20mm vulcan in Germany and I allways wore my ear plugs. In the early 90's I was persecuted by the RIAA for bootlegging and found guilty of 151 counts. In 1995 my house burnt down. I suffered smoke inhalation and lost it all. From Oct 1996 until we disbanded in Feb 2006 I was a singer, songwriter and bass player in The Phipps Brothers with my brother Aaron. We recorded 3 cds of original music. In 2000 I was enjoying sushi at NOBO, hanging out with Mark Seliger and Rusty Truck, working in Quad studios and on a Howard Stern birthday show in NYC with Lenny Kravitz and Tom "t-bone" Edmonds. In 2004 I was in the U.K. mastering recording projects with the father of the british eq, John Oram. In 2005 I was a recording engineer and bass player on Paul Lewis-Trading Horror Stories which received multiple GRAMMY nominations. I am currently performing 3 times a week PA & MD as the front person- vocalist- bass player in the new six piece PHIPPS & PHRIENDS. cooking and bouncing at market cross pub in shippensburg, pa 3 nights a week (sun-tues.) and dad to a super smart 4 year old.
