Biography

Little Phil (Rosenberg) has an impressive  resume, starting in 1964  as a 14-year old protégé with a Southern band called the Night Shadows. He was immediately recognized as a natural talent, even at that tender age. There was little reluctance putting him with the company of musicians 10 years older. The kid had the goods: persuasive voice, super-eager attitude, and an eye-popping James Brown-type stage persona Most of all, his soulful conviction went far beyond his years and helped break down any preconceived notions. The band would break up in 1969, but it developed a well-deserved cult following thanks to relentless touring and frequent recordings in the Rock, R&B, and Soul fields. In the seventies, Little Phil helped transform the southern music scene, performing at concerts and music festivals with "Kudzu" and later "Bandit". This allowed him the opportunity to share the same bill with artists such as Bob Segar, Z.Z.Top, Wet Willie, The Allman Brothers, Grand Funk, War, Steely Dan, Mother's Finest, and others. After an automobile accident in the eighties, Phil was forced to take some time off.

In 2011, Little Phil's legend continues to grow, and his example continues to inspire new generations of musicians. Little Phil took 2 years to carefully craft his sophomore solo album Never Gonna Give It Up knowing its not the quantity of music, but the quality. This makes Never Gonna Give It Up a southern soul must have!!
