BIOGRAPHY

Hi I'm Phil Bennett and I am a songwriter.
I am Missouri born and raised,but moved to Nashville in 2002 to further my songwriting career.
I have been writing/performing music all my life and will continue to. I play guitar and drums. I was influenced by acoustic sounds of the 70's like; James Taylor, Jim Croce and John Denver. I try to write from the heart and tell a story that makes you feel something.
So, I am currently working on some new songs and recording demos and I hope to have some new tunes uploaded soon.

Keep the faith

Phil
