Phil Flowers is five nights a week in a hotel room. Phil Flowers is a typewriter and a guitar. Phil Flowers is cigarettes and whiskey. Following the untimely dissolution of Moncton, New Brunswick’s The Courage of Being, Phil Flowers, armed with resolution and an acoustic guitar, went off on his own with the intention of making music that reflects the anxieties of existence and the integrity of true art thru traditional forms. Under the heavy influence of American folk music, blues, and jazz, Flowers creates the perfect atmosphere for his fiercely imagist lyrics about social heartache, deception, and candour. Not long after Phil Flowers set out on this new endeavour, a handful of early recordings were made public, a handful of demos including one “Sonny Resident”, and the masses were hooked, afflicted with a new aural addiction. Though often performing alone with nothing more than an acoustic guitar and a harmonica, Phil Flowers is often accompanied onstage by the Empty Seats a group consisting of Marc-Andre Belliveau(drums), Marc Landry (bass) and Mathieu Leblanc and If you may chance to bear witness to this collaboration, you will know that there is something unusual in the atmosphere. With passion and soul, you’ll be brought to the summits of mountains and so far down into the chasms below. You’ll be marked for many days and nights thereafter. ..
