Hey Phil Guy fans and Blues fans . . .
. . . Soul, Rock & Roll, Old School and Hip Hop fans, too!!!

We're thrilled you're checking out

Phil Guy's
website! Because - he does it all!!!

*** Please note: Since January of this year, Phil has endured health issues which have necessitated cancelling several gigs and putting a hiatus on scheduling others. Phil loves to perform and has always given more than 100% to his fans, family, musicians and friends. The past few gigs in particular, (Famous Dave's & Ironworld in Minnesota, The Taste of Chicago, The Mississippi Valley Blues Festival and Buddy Guy's Legends), were particularly hard for him. While he was looking forward to performing, his main goal became just to make it through them. Although those performances were excellent, and he put on great shows, unbeknownst to his fans, he struggled with his health during those performances. Phil has decided to take some time off from performing to concentrate on his health. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers, so that he will be rejuvinated several months down the road to perform again. Thanks and God Bless, LM ***

Phil's new CD released 2006:

He's My Blues Brother
Read the recent reviews about Phil Guy and about his new CD:

"What do you get when you cross the sounds of B.B. King, the Rolling Stones, combined with a little bit of Otis Redding and Muddy Waters, and top it off with a good dose of James Brown? Musical fusion at its best is what you get! And that's exactly the eclectic combination of sounds that you'll hear with legendary blues performer, Phil Guy. . . Bottom line, listening to Phil is energetic fun, and a classic blues sound sure to please. . . Although the music industry lost a pioneer this year with the passing of James Brown, and the "I Feel Good" generation, Phil Guy, modeled after the "Godfather of Soul" is someone all ages can and should appreciate."
The Naperville Glancer Magazine, March 2007, vol. 5, issue 15
Celebrity Feature article, Katie Wood

"The first time I heard a stratocaster, Philip Guy was playing one . . . It sounded like somebody threw a coin over thin ice."
Robert Cray quote for 2007 documentary about the fender stratocaster
(click on the News and Links tabs for more info about the documentary)

With his first CD of this decade, Phil Guy proclaims to the world he is the blues. . . It's not just the roots, but what's happening today . . . Throughout the record, Phil's guitar is sharp but laid back, making every note count. . . This is the real blues from the southern levees to downtown Chicago. Phil is not just Buddy's younger brother, he is the blues.
Big City Rhythm & Blues Magazine Oct./Nov.2006

Buddy Guy's brother, Phil Guy, was a surprise to many; he showed the huge crowd that musical brilliance runs in the family . . .
Blues Wax article 11/02/06 re. Phil's performance at the
2006 San Francisco Blues Festival, Phil Reser

When interviewed by Justin O'Brien for LB 179 (Living Blues magazine), Guy predicted that this record - if he ever got it out - was "gonna be the best one" he'd done. Give it a listen and you'll agree.
Living Blues Magazine

"Phil Guy is classic LB (Living Blues) material . . . week in and week out Phil has played the blues . . . it's what he does."
Living Blues editor, Brett Bonner - July/August 2005

"Phil Guy has one of the most envious careers in the blues. He has toured Africa and ridden the storied Festival Express across Canada as part of the band of his older brother, blues guitarist Buddy Guy."
Hartford Advocate, Wang Dang Doodle, Art Tipaldi, March 2006

Phil Guy is an old school blues man, plain and simple. He walks the walk, talks the talk, and, most importantly, he can rip on the guitar. There are decades of history in those wailing riffs.
Anchorage Press, Casey Grove, October 2006

Phil serves up a heavy dose of his easily identifiable funk induced blues and slashing guitar throughout ten songs he co-wrote . . .Phil is reunited with brother Buddy on the rousing title track where their differing styles - Phil combines multiple funky conglomeration while Buddy performs straight ahead Chicago blues - compliment each other favorably.
Tim Holek - Blues critic and journalist
