"EXPERIENCED, PROFESSIONAL & TALENTED...ALL AT THE SAME TIME!"

As a club owner and manager of Wild West Saloon in Bossier City La., I would have no reservations recommending Ridin High to anyone for entertainment. These guys are experienced, professional and very talented. They are great to work with and a cool group of guys who can accommodate any crowd.
- "Big John" Lyons, Owner/Operator - Wild West Saloon - Bossier City, LA


"PROFESSIONAL AND ENTERTAINING"

I highly recommend Ridin' High Band for music entertainment of any kind. This band is as professional as they are entertaining. You would have a hard time finding a more cooperative group of people. - Mark Trahan, Owner - The Boudain Hut - Port Arthur, TX


"HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BAND!"

I have personally known this band for about 10 years. They have played at our club for about this length of time and are always in demand. This band will interact with the crowd, and will always keep your dance floor full. They are personable guys and customers are constantly asking for them. Their variety of music is from new country to southern rock and everything in between. They are, by far, one of the best bands we employ and would highly recommend them for any type of venue! - Steve Truman, Owner - Sugar Shack Lounge - Leesville, LA

____________________

Born in SW Louisiana, Phillip is the sole son in a family of four children. He was a basketball player in his day and was looking forward to playing college ball. An injury on the court in high school ended that. Phillip took a look at his report card from high school and saw grades like C,C,C,C, with A’s in Chorus and P.E., so he figured he could coach or sing. He earned a degree in education from McNeese State, thinking coaching was the way to go, but the politics in education today didn't fit his vision, so he made the switch to music and has been there ever since. “Country with a rock edge”, Philip’s infectious high energy keeps the crowd on their feet and begging for more.
Phillip has been in bands who opened for some major acts; such as, Hootie and the Blowfish, Marshall Tucker Band and Eddie Money just to name a few. More recently opened for Rodney Atkins, Doug Stone, Highway 101 and Sammy Kershaw. He has also shared the stage with Mark Chestnut and Bobby Kimball of TOTO.
Phillip’s passion and love is performing and making his fans happy with his music. The only things he cares about more are his daughter, family and friends / fans.
