Phillip Gregory

I grew up in a house next door to Phillip Gregory in Kent, Wa. He kept me up all hours of the night practicing with his band Bionic Systems Go until I was about eight. I slept so well those two years following his departure from the band. But this in no way meant that he was not making music any longer. No, Phill was working on a solo record. Two Ears to Hear You came out after my family moved to Camas, Wa in 2006, but I was involved the whole way through. My stepfather Jason produced it, and though it took a few years to finish, Ears was an album worth waiting for. The album is a diverse work of art that has both hints of Lennon/McCartney ("A First For Man"), and Phill's own style that has been developed over the years. Lyrically, Moos shines as a poet and a songwriter reminiscent to those of the seveties, yet entirely rooted in the future. Phillip draws from his past, present, and future; telling stories that give everyone just a little insight into the mind of this quiet guy that lived in his mother's basement next door until I was ten years old. Phillip is now in a band called Carousel. They play shows fairly frequently, even playing with Phillip's idol, and his son's namesake, rusty willabee about a year ago.
