Memphis TN Welcomes Country Artist Phil Vaught November 20, 2014 at Neil's Music Room

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Nov. 6, 2014 - PRLog -- The son of a minister, Phil Vaught grew up in Kentucky and was exposed to music very early in life. It was not uncommon to hear him singing southern hymnals at church specials, or performing duets with his sister or brothers. At age 11, his parents bought him a drum set, and he began playing at church services and with friends at social functions. Soon after that, his older brothers started teaching him guitar and there was no turning back. He was hooked on music. Phil was exposed to various genres of music. From his dad, he picked up on legendary country artists such as Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Bill Monroe, The Statler Brother’s, and many others. His brothers, eight and ten years his senior, listened to Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, Jr., Billy Joel, and Phil picked up something from them all. His mother & sister, both accomplished classical musicians, also exposed Phil to an array of popular artists of current and past eras.

Phil’s album expected to be released by months end digitally “Drive” is anticipated to be one of the great rock/country albums, with legends on the album such as Reggie Young who recorded with Elvis a known in Memphis to this day, Ray Walker of the famous The Jordanaires both on the album (just to name a few), his song Live Like Elvis is a real tribute to the legend, Drive the title song of the album is something that is also a part of Phil, his love for cars, the open road, and music all fits!  Phil will be performing his album at Neil’s Music Room in Memphis on Thursday November 20, 2014.

“To be able to perform in Memphis has always been one of my dreams, all the greats that have come from there, go through there, and are still there.  While recording my album hearing the stories from Reggie and Ray about the people, and the love of music and now I have the opportunity to experience it myself, I can’t wait to see y’all at Neil’s!”
