Live Music by Phil Alley
“I’m now living in Asheville and playing a lot of acoustic and electric guitar music. I play gypsy jazz with the Hot Club of Asheville; original country/americana with Savannah Smith and Southern Soul; bluegrass and folk with the Well Lit Strangers; and I pick up gigs where I can with other songwriters and projects. I also teach guitar and mandolin at the Asheville Music School, which has been a very rewarding experience.” ~ Phil Alley, Guitarist, Composer, Teacher
