"And tearing it up on the electric guitar is new kid on the block, Phillip Sayce. Not only does he have the chops of a guitar god, but he looks the part, proving a great on-stage foil/flirt for Etheridge." -LJ Hammer Boulder Weekl [+]Some press:

"In the final three numbers, he (Sayce) finally had the opportunity to let loose with a blues-based, arena-rock attack of piercing, flaming and agitated agility. His showy, confident playing took over with such veracity that Melissa Etheridge appeared to tell him "You're a freak" off-mike in unfettered appreciation." Tom Roland Hollywood Reporter
"Joining Healey on guitar, this time around, was a young, fellow-Canadian, guitar-ace named Philip Sayce, who nearly stole the show with his lead guitar and vocal work on the funky "Put The Shoe On The Other Foot". " Paul Roy Music reviews cleveland.com

PHILIP SAYCE BIO :
Philip Sayce was born in Wales, UK and grew up in Toronto, Canada. Raised in a home filled with rich and diverse musical influences, Philip's family enrolled him in music lessons when he was three years old. "My parents had lots of instruments around the house while we were growing up, and we were always encouraged to play" says Philip. By 1985 Mark Knopfler's lyrical guitar had already made a big impression on a very young Sayce. "I was around eight when Brothers In Arms came out" he recalls, "and I freaked out on the intro to 'Money For Nothing.'" Then on an incredible evening in 1988, his parents took him to see Eric Clapton at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, along with Mark Knopfler on second guitar. When Eric Clapton strutted onto stage that night ripping it up on 'Crossroads,' Philip's life was forever changed. "That was one of the most amazing experiences of my life" Sayce later shared in an interview with Guitar Player Magazine in 1997.
The second life altering experience would come less than two short years later when his biggest influence, Stevie Ray Vaughan passed away in 1
