Party: **CANCELLED** PHILIP SAYCE

Sorry this gig has been cancelled

Provogue Records is pleased to announce the August 25th release of the new studio album from one of the most inspirational blues rock guitarists on the planet, Philip Sayce.

Aptly entitled “Influence”, the new album features Sayce’s most outstanding recordings of his career.

The album will be released on Ltd. Edition 180 gram double vinyl (1,000 copies only), CD and digital download.

The authenticity of his guitar playing throughout the new LP is overwhelming, and yet, it is the craftsmanship, production and emotionally compelling song arrangements that evoke a passionate and spiritual impact that’s unforgettable.

Sayce has won the approval of a number of acclaimed artists. He recorded and toured with the late Jeff Healey and Melissa Etheridge. “She is a tremendous musician and just a great person,” Sayce said. “It was a wonderful experience with her. Jeff was just off the charts. He would simply put people in a trance when he performed. It was otherworldly.”

Part of what makes Sayce’s sonic approach work so well is his disregard of trends. He goes with what moves him. ‘Out Of My Mind’ is a mighty tip of the cap to the man, who changed modern blues guitar, Jimi Hendrix. “I couldn’t help but do a homage to the master,” Sayce says. “My take on this one was just to go all out and have fun. Hendrix really moved me at an early age.”

Sayce proves to be unpredictable. He surprises with ‘Fade Into You,’ a changeup of sorts, which is a moody, moving piece, which showcases his guitar brilliance. Sayce hits the bullseye with ‘Fade Into You,’ because like most great art, it’s inspired by real experience. “This song is definitely one of the heaviest songs, if not the heaviest song on the album,” Sayce says. “It comes from a very hurt, sad, dark place. It’s about being screwed over in the music business.”.
