Phil See

Phil started his musical career at age 11, trying to get Free's "All Right Now" out of an autoharp electronically enhanced with a microphone element and wood putty. He logged thousands of hours on the old half upright at the Queen Anne Rec Center teaching himself to play the piano and write songs. In the mid-seventies he and some junior high school friends formed a hard rock band. They played the NW club circuit for ten years as Open Fire and then as Phoenixx performing covers and original material. After Phoenixx disbanded, Phil joined the corporate world, but quit twelve years later to again focus on music. "Harmonic Tremors is his unique five-song tribute to the emotion, attitude and energy of rock.
