July 25: Phil Minissale at Acoustic LI
Influenced by the likes of Bob Dylan, Toby Walker, John Hammond, and Chris Smither, Phil is on a crusade to introduce the Blues to younger audiences. “Cats my age know nothing about roots music, and that’s a shame.” Although Phil is Long Island born, he grew up in the Brandywine Valley of Eastern Pennsylvania. In September 2006, Phil returned to the area and now lives in Stony Brook, New York. “It’s nice to be back around my extended family. It’s like coming home to my own roots.” In just a few short months, Phil has become a crowd favorite at folk societies and coffee houses across Long Island. His fingerstyle guitar playing and instincts for finding new melodies are far beyond his years. More at www.myspace.com/philminissalemusic.
