Phil Morse

Story

I have performed as both a singer and keyboard player in many 70’s 80’s 90’s cover bands over the years, acoustic acts as a singer guitar player and a singer for a Tool tribute band for seven years. I was even asked to perform in place of Maynard for his big wine promotional debut in Boston. I also graduated Berklee College of music and majored in music production and engineering where I wrote original music and lyrics in a band called Ritual. We performed at hundreds of venues all across the northeast from Maine down to Manhattan and in between including opening for National acts such as Zak Wylde, Skid Row, U.P.O., Godsmack, Disturbed, and Tesla at the Locobazooka and other music festivals with interviews and live performances on local radio stations abroad. We were signed on an independent label that Lynch Mob is now on
