About Me

--Phil the Peddler--Born and raised in the "Coal used to be king" region of Northeastern PA Phil the Peddler brings a look into the belly of the American beast to Portland's local music scene. Having lived and worked everywhere from small conservative Pennsylvania towns to the Northwest's kindest city, as well as spending 5 years in the U.S. Army Infantry has given the Peddler a unique perspective into the American experience. Having settled into Portland's southeast side Phil the Peddler can be seen live at various open mic's, bars and coffee shops around the city.
