All great music cities have rare treats that can be found in the underground. PHIL SMITH is one of those rare treats.

The new PHIL SMITH album “Year Of The Dog” is without an emotional filter. It is stripped bare on every level in the great tradition of albums like Nick Drake’s “Pink Moon” and Ryan Adam’s “Heartbreaker”.

Phil spend his formative years as a transient soul sharing life with people that always seemed to be running away from something. These experiences shaped him as a songwriter.

“As you get older, and you start to learn first hand about death, and all it’s attendant misfortunes and unravelings, you get to realizing pretty quick that there ain’t nothing in this mean old world as important as your own flesh and blood.”

2013 was unquestionably a shit year for PHIL SMITH and “Year Of The Dog” is it’s brutally honest musical assessment. Through the brutal honesty and raw emotion there is a sense of hope that Phil will be sharing with you in 2014.
