Phillip Lammonds
"When a 100 year old Gibson, an 85 year old Geraldine, a 5 year and 65 year old pair of Martins, not to mention God’s own mandolin can't wait to peel the paint off the walls… it's 'cause they're packing K&K pickups. No batteries no BS... You haven't [heard this sound] until you have.”
Phillip Lammonds is a songwriter and talented instrumentalist from the musically rich mountains of North Carolina. From his childhood in the mountains to his time in the South Carolina Lowcountry, it was this melting pot of sounds and rhythms that formed his musical sensibilities. When pressed, Phillip describes his musical and writing styles as “raking through a toolbox in the dark.” In his opinion,“Songs aren’t really written, they are caught like a fish. They’re out there swimming around. But they aren’t always biting.”
After college, Phillip was a founder of The Blue Dogs, a beloved and critically acclaimed bluegrass and rock inspired jam band. He then started his family in Pawley’s Island, South Carolina while working as a fishing guide, a falconer, and the owner of the islands Southeby’s real estate company. All the while, Phillip wrote songs and traveled to Nashville to pitch them. After fifteen years, fifty or so trips to Nashville, and cuts on major artists—Hootie and the Blowfish, Josh Turner, Craig Morgan—Phillip moved to music city to pursue songwriting full time. He stepped onto the scene with a publishing deal from Curb Entertainment and a back catalog nearly five hundred songs strong. Phillip’s songs have been recorded by artists like Lee Brice, Jerrod Niemann, Darius Rucker, Blake Shelton, Edwin McCain, Craig Morgan, Kellie Pickler, Mo Pitney, and Dylan Scott.
Lammonds just released his debut album “Cowboy Things” which Lee Brice produced & has features by Darius Rucker, Pam Tillis, and Billy Gibbons. He’s been on Spotify’s New Music Friday Country for the past month & we’ve had great press with Sirius XM Road Dog Trucking, CMT, Garden & Gun, and Cowboys & Indians. He’s a songwriter with Curb Word Publishing & has cuts with Lee Brice, Hootie & The Blowfish, Chris Canterbury, Craig Morgan, Kellie Pickler, Jerrod Niemann & more.
