"Out of the ashes of an old experiment comes a new sound graced with the sensibilities of classic rock, mixed together with the appreciation of hard work's results.."
Supported by the thunderous drums of Jerry Willoughby, the music of Phoenix Down highlights the tag-team guitar duo of Conor Ryan and Ben Jendras, who have played together since the early years of traumatizing adolescence. Ben's hauntingly impassioned cries are complemented by Conor's cool and collected harmonies, while Jerry's fervent shouts and bellows wind up the weave of the vocal fabric, creating something that you will want to wear everyday.
The Rock-trio was born in the hallways of Riverside-Brookfield Highschool in 2004. Hailing from the western suburbs of Chicago, the group has since played countless performances and developed a dedicated fan base. Although currently spread across the country in the pursuit of knowledge, the members of Phoenix Down still plan and scheme while away and return to Chicago every year for 5 months of unwavering and resolute rocking. And they want you to come along for the ride. Preferably splitting the cab fare.
