Brad Phillips

A sideman for some of Michigan’s most prevalent singer/songwriter acts.  From Jeff Daniels, to The Verve Pipe, to the Celtic-fusion super-group Millish. I've also appeared with May Erlewine, Joshua Davis and played violin for Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Pat Metheny, and Iggy Pop and the Stooges. I'm still pinching myself...

​

I earned both my bachelor's and master's degrees in music from the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance, where I'm now faculty as a lecturer in the department of Jazz & Contemporary Improvisation. I'm also a resident artist at the Purple Rose Theatre Company, where I have worked as a composer, sound designer, and actor.

​

Building my solo show is an honor and a privilege. I'm most interested in creating an eclectic retrospective of my life in the arts as a sideman, while exploring my own creative voice with original instrumentals and songs. I'm currently working on an EP and I'd love to have you along for the ride.
