Having been raised by a single mother Phillip Rogers didn’t come from opulent means. Indeed, despite that fact that he wanted a guitar from a very young age his first instrument was a trumpet because that’s what his well intended mother could afford. She hoped that the free lessons at school would give her son what she couldn’t.Chalk it up to a mother’s intuition or God’s prompting, but it worked. Phillip did well with his trumpet and gained a firm grasp on music theory along the way. The guitar eventually did come and as did a soulful singing voice that was polished by years of singing in his church choir the influential styles of such acts as Steely Dan, Johnny Winters and Loggins & Massina. |
