Singer-songwriter-guitarist Phil Circle is a veteran Chicago musician with eight official albums and reviews that describe his work as "just what the doctor ordered" and "from the master class." About his 1997 debut, one national magazine said it "defies Rock, Jazz, and Blues" and his recent full band release confirmed to Chicago media that Phil Circle is "one of our town's most unique voices." With 30 years of music and studio time booked to start his ninth album, Phil Circle still has it; he even wrote a book.
