Phil Coleman Music

Phil started in the music industry when he was 17, playing in pubs around the Rocks in Sydney.   He went solo for a few years before he started working in blues bands during the mid 80’s.  During this time he had the opportunity work with several Canberra Bands, including Blind Freddy, as their lead singer and rhythm guitarist.  While working with Blind Freddy they were given the opportunity to support Albert King and Canned Heat on the Canberra leg of their Australian tour. 

Phil adapts his performance to suit the occasion and mood of the venue.  His life experiences are reflected in the songs that he writes and performs, which cover a range of styles.

Whether performing in a variety of bands, solo or with his songwriting, Phils’ repertoire encompasses a fusion of folk, country, blues, jazz and soul.  His career spans many years, writing and performing with some of the best musicians around Sydney and Canberra, Australia.

Phil is continuing to perform and develop his skills as a songwriter and is looking forward to expanding his horizons in the music industry.  He has now brought together a group of likeminded musicians to be part of his new band which will be playing a selection of original songs and other great songs that he has performed over his career.

He has realised, over many years, how much music means to him and how it has been the key to keeping his life balanced.
