Album Notes

Some press: "And tearing it up on the electric guitar is new kid on the block, Phillip Sayce. Not only does he have the chops of a guitar god, but he looks the part, proving a great on-stage foil/flirt for Etheridge." -LJ Hammer Boulder Weekly "In the final three numbers, he (Sayce) finally had the opportunity to let loose with a blues-based, arena-rock attack of piercing, flaming and agitated agility. His showy, confident playing took over with such veracity that Melissa Etheridge appeared to tell him "You're a freak" off-mike in unfettered appreciation." Tom Roland Hollywood Reporter "Joining Healey on guitar, this time around, was a young, fellow-Canadian, guitar-ace named Philip Sayce, who nearly stole the show with his lead guitar and vocal work on the funky "Put The Shoe On The Other Foot". " Paul Roy Music reviews cleveland.com "It was a high energy set that was fueled by the spectacular guitar playing by Philip Sayce. He was amazing to watch, from his facial expressions, to his total mastery of his instrument, even using an empty bottle as a slide at one point." Orlando Florida Guide Uncle Kracker review PHILIP SAYCE BIO : Philip Sayce was born in Wales, UK and grew up in Toronto, Canada. Raised in a home filled with rich and diverse musical influences, Philip's family enrolled him in music lessons when he was three years old. "My parents had lots of instruments around the house while we were growing up, and we were always encouraged to play" says Philip. By 1985 Mark Knopfler's lyrical guitar had already made a big impression on a very young Sayce. "I was around eight when Brothers In Arms came out" he recalls, "and I freaked out on the intro to 'Money For Nothing.'" Then on an incredible evening in 1988, his parents took him to see Eric Clapton at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, along with Mark Knopfler on second guitar. When Eric Clapton strutted onto stage that night ripping it up on 'Crossroads,' Philip's life was forever changed. "That was one of the most amazing experiences of my life" Sayce later shared in an interview with Guitar Player Magazine in 1997. The second life altering experience would come less than two short years later when his biggest influence, Stevie Ray Vaughan passed away in 1990. This changed Philip's life in an instant and he was immediately committed to pursuing music with fervor. "His passing, his music, and his message affected me SO deeply that I had to switch to the guitar." Combining his serious dedication to music with his parents record collection, which included Ry Cooder, Freddie King, Eric Clapton, Manitas de Plata, Donovan, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, Philip immersed himself in a world of sonic bliss. "I had a Sears acoustic guitar with strings about four feet off the board. I carried it around in a garbage bag." Barely out of high school, Philip was signed to the now defunct Hypnotic/MCA records after his second gig. A CD was released to favorable reviews in the international press and has since become a much sought after collectors item. Billboard proclaimed him an "outstanding songwriter and stylish rock guitarist," and as "one to watch." He also appeared in the internationally released film 'Cockroach Blue' landing a top ten video in Canada from the soundtrack. In late 1996, Philip was introduced through a mutual friend, to the internationally acclaimed and multi-platinum guitarist, Jeff Healey. After several impromtu jam sessions, Healey invited Philip to become a member of his band and tour the world. This incredible opportunity allowed Sayce to begin honing his guitar and vocal stylings alongside his heroes. They performed at prestigious festivals like The Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, and on bills with The Allman Brothers Band, Gary Moore, Johnny Winter, B.B. King and many others over a period of four years. "Jeff is one of the most incredible musicians living today. He is a true geniu
