www.coryphillipsmusic.com Cory Phillips is unique natural: a sensual, soulful singer of rare touch, quality, wisdom, talent, and skill - with acoustic guitar prowess only rivaled by his memorable voice. As a solo performer his music warms with a rootsy soul quality burning with 70's acoustic pop erudition and desert moon-worship. As the commanding leader of the bedroom funk-disco and r&b eight-piece, CORY PHILLIPS & THE BAND OF LIGHT, his sultry songs raze a party with unapologetically retro jams that drip with sex. The group mirrors Phillips’ fire dance with their own seasoned acrobatics. Guitarist Michael Hamm (Sunu, The Yards), keyboardist Nate Holt (Asterales, Maria the Mexican), bassist Mario Vlasic (Sunu, The Yards), and long-time colleague and drummer Chel Rich (The Mad Kings) are the Band of Light, capable of reaching every sensual dynamic in the catalog with masterful precision and bite. Joining them on stages are Mike Cibura, Ralph Rivers, Chelsy Larsen, Lauren Mayhew, and other past and future members. Their seductive live shows keep audiences swooning to tender anthems and love sexsplosions, the prowl and excitement of which were miraculously captured on Phillips' new studio album, a dirty bouquet of groove, pop, and soul called SEXTHIRSTYLOVEHUNGER.
