Read the full storyThe Halifax Hotel will host a weekend of rock n’ roll and good vibes kicking off from 7pm on Friday 13 December with the talents of 4String Phil and Getting Didgee treating patrons to plenty of tunes.
4String Phil will excitingly debut his unique talents to Halifax audiences this Friday where he’ll showcase his niche methods of transforming traditional music into an immersive and enjoyable production.
“I play 4, 3 and 1 string handmade guitars with one guitar built with bits and pieces from the tip shop and another made out of a veggie pot,” explained Phil.
A unique performance, 4String Phil creates a wave of original tunes covering genres including blues, rock, hillbilly and techno, adding he’s always excited to play his music at new venues and share his talents with audiences in an interactive way.
“A music magazine once tried to describe my music as George Thorogood, ZZ Top, Ry Cooder on steroids with a touch of hillbilly and techno,” Phil said.
“I do this fulltime and have been travelling and living out of a van all over Australia for twelve years, playing at venues, corporate events, and big festivals, and on this trip, I have Getting Didgee with me - a friend of mine from Airlie Beach!”
With spoons, tambourines and equipment at the ready, Phil plans on inviting audience members to join the show on stage to produce an AC/DC didgeridoo hillbilly fusion like no other.
The dynamic duo will perform on both Friday 13 December and Saturday 14 December from 7pm onwards at the Halifax Hotel with attendees encouraged to wear white for an awesome UV glow party across both evenings to contribute to a fabulous festive atmosphere you’ll never forget!
