Episode Description
Brock Phillips grew up in Fort Langley, BC, screaming Avenged Sevenfold lyrics in the backseat of his parents' car with his headphones in. Oddly enough, his educator parents were very supportive of his pursuit of a music career.
Now he's in Nashville with a publishing deal, four hundred songs in the catalogue, and his name on Canadian country radio with his debut single "Somebody Else".
On this episode, Brock talks about the four years he walked away from music completely, why squeezing it too tight almost killed it for him, and how a random bar gig at Simon Fraser University changed everything. He gets into his love for Jason Isbell, his philosophy on songwriting with intention, and why he thinks country music is whatever you want it to be right now. Also, the Brock Stars fan club name was invented live on this episode, and we're pretty sure it's going to stick.
His newest single "Leave Me Like A Backroad" features Dallas Smith, he has another single coming in September, and a debut album is in the works. This really was part one of a great conversation.
