Simon Phillips

Described by Tommy Emmanuel as “a serious talent”, Simon Phillips is far from your typical guitarist. Blending soulful vocals, intricate guitar work, and masterful foot percussion, Simon redefines the one-man-band experience. His performances weave together soul, blues, gospel and roots with effortless charm and precision.

Armed with his Cole Clark guitar, a tambourine, harmonica, and even a mouth trumpet, Simon creates a full-bodied sound that’s rich, rhythmic, and captivating. His songwriting captures raw human emotion – storytelling that connects deeply with audiences and showcases his genuine artistry.

Originally from coastal Western Australia, Simon has performed across Australia and internationally, earning praise from the likes of Robben Ford and Larry Carlton. His stage presence is both powerful and intimate, turning every show into an unforgettable experience.
