"...cranking out smart, soulful tunes and carrying them with a confident voice. Rossi is a fine singer and guitarist, a strong songwriter, a barrel of monkeys as an entertainer, and an up-and-coming artist all the way around."
On Tap Magazine
The music of Phil Rossi [and the Bad Habit] is an exploration of the human condition. Weakness and triumph. Excess and fragility. Fearless and exposed, Rossi's words and melodies bring the listener to an intimate place. The live experience is a tremble, a whisper, a howl, and a breath.
Phil Rossi has shared the stage with the likes of Andy Zipf, 51Peg, Alfonzo Velez, Vicki Nova, the Pharmacy Prophets, exit Clov, Erik Bradford, Rotoscope, Lynda McLaughlin, Mitch Linker and Mandy Moore...er...rather, many more.
