Shawn Phillips at The Ark
Shawn Phillips, who taught Joni Mitchell and George Harrison their first guitar moves, played solo on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, at The Ark in Ann Arbor. He delivered the sound of a full symphony orchestra in real time during this solo show.
Bill Graham called Shawn Phillips "the best kept secret in the music business." He wrote the music for Donovan's "Season Of The Witch" and has played with legends like Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood. With 27 albums under his belt, Phillips is known for his refusal to compromise commercially.
In his concerts, he evolves creatively by bringing the sound of a symphony orchestra solo and live on stage, staying faithful to the album recordings. His 2024 tour included a powerful new show, performed at The Ark on May 29. Tickets were $25 for this notable event.
