Although I've been blessed to play music with many great players, the Core of my band is: Lester Estelle on Guitar; Rob Bowen on Drums; Efrain Flores on Bass. Oh yeah & ME!
Influences
My musical influences are: Otis Taylor, Reba Rambo(the greatest songwriter ever), Dotti Rambo, Peter Gabriel, Michael McDonald, Chicago, CCR, Dave Mathews, Sting, & YES Barry Manilo (King of the Big Finish) and being from the mountains, I Love Bluegrass... Lyricly, I've been influenced by authors and books: "The God Chasers" Tommy Tenny "Jerusalem Countdown" John Hagee "Anointing Fall On Me" TD Jakes "Evidence That Demands A Verdict" Josh McDowell And the latest, "Hell's Best Kept Secret" a must read by Ray Comfort But mostly I've been influenced by those people who have planted a little of themselves in my life. People like my papa, Ellis Allen,who is bar-none the greatest preacher I ever heard. As well as, and most importantly, a Great Man. Also have been impacted greatly by Lester Estelle Sr.. He's not only a great guitar player but a very wise and gracious & patient Godly man. I've been impacted by my father-in-law, Bud Houghton, who has been my example of a true heart of worship. (and I don't mean at church) I mean living a life of continual worship. My pastor, Dennis Slavens, probably unknowing to him, has taught me what it means to be a student of the Word. I dig deeper and longer in search for the truth. Kevin Seaton, in my opinion, the best Worship Leader I've ever known. Although very talented, it's the heart, teaching, leading, the consistent walk day to day stuff that makes all of these people so much of an impact. If they didn't walk it, it wouldn't mean a thing. And the best for last, my wife Julie is the most influential person in my life....!
Sounds Like
Rock Foundation Recording Artist, Lindsey Phillips, is a singer / songwriter with a distinguishing style of rhythmic guitar playing and vocal ability. Lindsey's one of a kind style provides a unique blend of music that must not only be heard but experienced to be fully appreciated. Voted 2001 vocalist of the year by Embassy Music in Nashville and KCCM's 2003 and 2004 "Acoustic Rock" artist of the year, Lindsey's voice is refreshing moving in and out of well-crafted lyrics and melodies that are as enticing as they are intense. Sounds Like It's Americana music. The best description I've heard so far is it is a mixture of Rock, Acoustic, Jazz, Gospel, the whole 9 yards all rolled up into a "Linzified" tonal experience. LOL! Man! I don't know. I get so bored with one thing that I'm constantly switching it up when I'm writing. That's the best part of being a writer. It wouldn't be very creative to do the same thing all the time.
Thanks Lindsey! I'm doing GREAT! Don't remember if I told you but I sing in a band. It's taken forever to find 2 guitar players that are committed. After months of searching we will be playing open mic night Sun. nite at a resturant in Gvill SC :) I'm cited!
Hey Lindsey...how in the world are you? How is KS? How is your music coming along? I saw Julie's pics of the kids and boy are they precious. So cute. Keep in touch.
That would be awesome. It would give us a chance to play all of our songs. I went to Lee's Summit today to get my chords and i also grabbed your stand. i will bring it to your tomorrow at church
Hey i called up there and they set my chords and your stands aside. Thanks, we had a lot of fun. we were a little disappointed we didn't get to play long, we put our best songs back to back at the end of our set, but we wanted to make sure we played our christian song since it was a christian venue, but i'm glad you liked it.
hey, i left some mic chords at the show because they were on stage and i had to take a couple home and didn't want to interrupt anything. Do you know how i could get ahold of them? and thanks again for asking us to play, we had a good time.
Okay. My Taylor will plug straight into the system with an XLR input. i am bringing an acoustic guitar amp to mic for out other guitar and thats probably all we will need. We are going to play our set acoustic.
Hey, I'm not sure if you will be at church tomorrow. I need a little more info about that show on Friday. Is there a house drum set? also what time should i be there and what other equipment do i need
Thank you so much for the add. I appreciate it and YOU! I've spent many hours singing praise and worship and absolutely love your sound! Hope you get a chance to stop by for a peek and a listen and hope you like the tunes! YOU ROCK! Thank you again and God bless! .....Donita :o)
