  Phil was the first show at Harmony in the House, and we are pleased that he wants to come back to let you hear his new cd The Fall and Further Decline of the Mighty King of Love. Read what our friend Peter   Cooper wrote about Phil – http://blogs.tennessean.com/tunein/2013/02/15/peter-cooper-on-music-fortune-eludes-phil-lee-but-fun-he-has/?repeat=w3tc

Phil Lee on Phil Lee:

 “I love Phil Lee. He’s this creature I’ve created who does what he likes and likes what he does.” Other folks like what he does, as well. Not millions of other folks. Perhaps, though, an acceptable amount. “I’m not as    famous as I ought to be, but (wife) Maggie says I’m famous enough,” he says. “Maggie’s always right.”

 Phil Lee — his last name is actually Pearson, but that doesn’t sound right — travels the world with a couple of guitars and sings, mostly truthfully, “Phil Lee don’t have to work/ He gets paid for having fun.”

 Phil makes albums, the latest of which is the brand-new “The Fall and Further Decline of the Mighty King of Love,” and those albums are readily ignored by mainstream radio programmers but happily consumed by the pockets of fans who make it possible for him to travel the world with a couple of guitars. http://www.phillee1.com

If you look up Steve Cohagen on the web, you will be directed to IMDB to read about his work in many well-known Hollywood and regionally directed movies. He’s behind the scenes but in the credits. Steve is our neighbor and our friend, and we are always glad when he has the time to come by for a show. He is also a well-regarded singer/songwriter in the Pittsburgh area. Close your eyes and you can hear him calling Tom Waits to the table. His songs tell fascinating stories and whether on guitar and harp, or pulling off an old Taj Mahal tune on the banjo, we know you will enjoy him. Steve’s songwriting teeters, gracefully balanced in the harmonious mix. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always, always hopeful.
