MUSIC AT THE MARKET
Listen Online!
Market favorite Phil Julian will be entertaining us this week at the market.  Phil has been writing and performing both Christian music and comedy, sometimes simultaneously, depending on the venue, since 1970.  Phil’s music covers a broad spectrum of styles covering country, folk, contemporary, soft rock, and traditional style hymns. No screaming, no fuzz tones, no jumping off the stage, just a foot tapping rhythm, good down-home acoustical picking, and a message you can take home in your heart. Good listening. His siblings all have the same type of humor, probably genetical, which pops out in spite of any attempts to restrain it and in spite of his Christian convictions. The nut doesn't fall far from the tree. Originally from Seattle, Phil has lived near Richmond, Virginia since 1994.  Contact Phil by email for bookings. If you know of a band or solo artist who would like to play at the market, please email ChiknEGG or call:  804-314-9141.  Here are the Performance Guidelines for Artists.  Hours for performing are 10:00am - 1:00pm.
