PHINS, together since 2000, is a St. Louis, MO. based band featuring music with a tropical flavor – we take our audience on a musical vacation where the sun is shining on sugar-sand beaches, the water clear and warm, and the drinks ice cold. Our repertoire places heavy emphasis on the work of Jimmy Buffett, along with various artists/songs in the same genre, as well as several originals.
Our members include Paul Roush on acoustic rhythm guitar and vocals; Jerry Turnbow on keyboard, fiddle, acoustic and electric guitar and vocals; Alan Taylor on lead guitar; Jim Barks on congas, timbales and percussion; and John Ampleman on drums and vocals.
Although the band is based in Missouri, PHINS has performed in various locales over the years, ranging from Key West, Florida and Gulf Shores, Alabama to Put–In–Bay, Ohio and Minneapolis, Minnesota. We have had the distinct honor of sharing the stage with members of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band, including Michael Utley, Greg “Fingers” Taylor, and Tom Mitchell.
We hope you’ve had the opportunity to hear us perform. If not, please check our schedule and come join us on a musical trip to the islands! Our schedule can be found right here on MySpace!
You can also purchase our CD, "Fools, Drunks, & Children" right here!
