DUNCAN PHILLIPS
As the son of Bruce, "Utah Phillips, Duncan Phillips began traveling
on the road with his father in the winter of 2000. Utah referred to
Duncan as his "road manager", but Duncan jokes that everyone
knows his father couldn't be managed.
Bruce always had the dream of playing on stage together with his son,
but as a kid, Duncan could never reconcile that in learning to play the
guitar, he would be learning one of the very things that kept him
separated from his father for so many years.
Duncan performed on stage just shortly after his dad's death in 2008.
Along with Utah's old road-worn Guild guitar, Duncan inherited the
songs and stories of the people and places that his father wrote about
over his forty plus years of wandering the country.
In Duncan's own words: "Well, even though he may be gone, every
time I'm on the stage, he is there with me and this is my story, so
far...
...oh yeah, I do live in Utah."
