Philip
Sayce first gained international notoriety as a teenage axe-slinger when
guitar
legend Jeff Healey personally invited Philip to become a member of his
band.
Just out of high school he performed with Healey at prestigious festivals
such The Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.
On bills with The Allman Brothers Band, Robert Cray, Gary Moore, Johnny
Winter, B.B. King, and to sold out shows around the world. Sayce then
moved to Los Angeles and landed a gig with Uncle Kracker. Phil was
featured nightly and Kracker's version of the classic song "Drift Away"
went to 1 on the Billboard charts for 28 weeks that summer.
Philip can be heard on Kracker's release, "No Stranger To Shame." In the
autumn of 2003, Sayce met mega producer John Shanks. Coincidentally, just
a week before, super-star Melissa Etheridge had mentioned to John that she
was looking for a guitar player.
Shanks referred Philip to her and in December 2003, Sayce joined Etheridge
and her band. Philip performed with Melissa at The Grammy Awards in 2005,
and at The Academy Awards in 2007, where she won an Oscar for song of the
year, "I Need To Wake Up" from "An Inconvenient Truth". Philip can be
heard on her 2004 release "Lucky Live", "Greatest Hits:The Road Less
Traveled" (2005), "The Awakening" (2007) and "A New Thought For Christmas"
(2008). Sayce released "Peace Machine" independently in the autumn of
2005, and has been actively composing material with a number of
songwriters for an upcoming solo release.
Now he signed a contract with Provogue records and we are prowed to book
him shows in EU for his first Tour with his Band.
