on February 24th, 2019 at 19:38Including a date at the Winchester Gate in Salisbury
Wiltshire based singer-songwriter Phil Cooper will be joining up with Montreal artist LG Breton to complete the second leg of their joint tour in May 2019. Having toured together in Canada in September 2018, LG Breton will be the one crossing the ocean for a 10 date tour of the UK, taking in Bristol, Salisbury, Sheffield, Liverpool, Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, Brighton and finishing in Phil’s home town of Trowbridge, Wiltshire.
Not content with sharing a tour, the two have decided to co-write some exclusive material for an EP, which will be made available (along with other rewards) to fans who help fund the tour through crowdfunding website “Indiegogo”. Having met online several years ago, the two songwriters met ìin real lifeî for the first time on Prince Edward Island, Canada, just hours before sharing the stage. Since then the two have become good friends and are excited about touring together for a second time.
About Phil Cooper
Phil is a contemporary singer/songwriter who has earned excellent reviews from the national press, with his thought-provoking songwriting and energetic live performances drawing comparisons to Neil Finn, Glenn Tilbrook and Ben Folds. During his live shows, he makes a real connection with the crowd, whether it’s handing out dozens of egg shakers, or passing around his “doodle book” for the audience to draw in. Every now and then you’ll catch him unplugging his guitar and shunning the stage to stand right in among the captivated audience. With nearly three years of full-time musicianship under his belt he has achieved the following:
Two albums released independently
Signed a distribution deal with Discovery Records
Support slots for The Blockheads, Badly Drawn Boy, The Bluetones, Mark Chadwick (Levellers)
Two tours of Canada and several UK tours
Main stage slot at the Trowbridge Festival
National radio play on BBC 6 Music
Licensed albums to Infinite Hive Records
