Episode 109: Stripmall Ballads (Phillips Saylor Wiser) Brunswick, MD

Episode 109 features with my guest Phillips Saylor Wisor. Otherwise known as Strip Mall Ballads. He has been a presence in the underground North American folk scene for about the last 20 years. His music is identifiable by the mountain banjo and his unique guitar style that combines Piedmont Blues, Bluegrass and Psychedelic Country influences. I wanted to get him on the show after talking to his friend and on/off bandmate Andrew Janosek of Rock Creek Revival. I featured Phillips song "Pull Over Johnny" on this episode. Stripmall Ballads has a big release show in DC 2/12 at The SongBird. I should also mention that Phillips teaches banjo and is always looking for new and interested students. Thanks for listening and supporting local music. Links below.
