Scotland’s Shetland Islands, a collection of small rocks straddling the North Sea and the North Atlantic, might seem an unlikely birthplace for an Americana singer songwriter. But nourished from an early age on a musical diet of country, folk and rock and roll, Duncan
Phillips always knew he wanted to write his own songs.
Duncan picked up his first guitar at the tender age of eight. By fourteen he was a mainstay of the local gig and festival circuit. With a sound and sensibility that leans heavily into the likes of Tom Petty, Steve Earle and Bruce Springsteen, Duncan’s take on Americana rock genre has won hearts and minds on Melbourne’s live music scene and at national radio stations like PBS and 3RRR.
