Phil Swindle Band

Hailing from the heartland of where it all started for the original "Swampers", lead guitarist Phil Swindle was born in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Weaned on music performed by Musicians Hall of Fame session players Barry Beckett, Roger Hawkins, David Hood, Jimmy Johnson, Pete Carr, Spooner Oldham, and Clayton Ivey, Phil was drawn like a moth to a flame. Incendiary artists like Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, The Staples, Boz Scaggs, Clarence Carter, King Curtis, and Duane Allman, were simply fuel for the fire.

The Phil Swindle Band consistently delivers the essential dynamic musical component...emotion. 

Phil has performed with members of the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Derek Trucks, Wet Willie, Marshall Tucker Band, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Deep South, and the Rossington Collins Band. He loves recording and performing festivals and benefit concerts where musicians improvise, jam, and create music for the moment. 

Phil's groundbreaking record "Last Call" features a completely original set list of material written, and arranged by Phil Swindle. This new record features Grammy nominee and Georgia Music Hall of Fame Member, singer/songwriter, Jimmy Hall from Wet Willie. Both in live performance with the Phil and on this new "Last Call" record, Jimmy contributes authentic soul, inspiring lead vocals, harmonica, and tenor saxophone. 

The Phil Swindle Band consists of legendary performers like drummer/collaborator Derek Hess from the Rossington Collins Band, bassist Timmy Lindsey from Lynyrd Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet, Leland Kornegay, Phd, from the Malaco Horns, tenor saxophonist Rick "Hurricane" Johnson, Hammond B3 organist and Georgia Music Hall of Fame member Barry Rapp, bassist Tommy Gilstrap, percussionist Woody Pernell. 

The music on this new album is a compilation of provocative lyrics fused with deeply powerful rhythms, horns, and percussion, offering production elements that hearken back to the analog vibe produced by Shelter Records and artists like Delaney and Bonnie, Freddie King, Leon Russell, J.J. Cale, and early Eric Clapton.
