P2, as he is known to his 'Phans', is Phil Pritchett, leader of Phil Pritchett and the Full Band. After starting his indie rock outfit in 1995, Pritchett has released 10 albums, all on his own label, with himself as producer. This so-called "cottage-industry" musician is know for his livewire shows, thoughtful lyrics, eclectic albums and sense of humor.With the Full Band, P2 has grown into an internationally known act, touring the US regularly while garnering a following in Europe, South Africa and Australia (thanks in no small part to his extensive online presence). Most days find him in his own Trinidad World Recording Studios in Fort Worth, Texas writing songs, recording, or producing projects for other artists.His 'Phans' are the only audience he plays to, regularly working into his tour schedule private shows at various locations, and giving them access to demos, videos, board tapes, and interviews. Over the years, he has taken special care to stay out of any "scene" or "mainstream" electing to only work on music, not interested in the antics associated with modern day "celebrities." The music is raw output, unfiltered by any extraneous forces (labels, producers, lawyers, etc.).His latest installment, "The Bullfighter Returns" is an uppercut of eclectic rock, with signature guitar and tambourine jangles, harmonies and P2's twangy vocals.
