Bo Phillips brings an eclectic variety of musical influences with him to the stage. From the first note until the last encore, you can be sure that you will leave with a smile. His debut album, "Dirt Road", features all original music. You will hear soulful ballads, gritty lead rides, toe-tapping favorites, and a couple of funny moments. Born in Houston, Texas, Bo and his two brothers (Stoney Larue) were raised by their grandparents in southeastern Oklahoma. Upon graduation, Bo moved to Stillwater and received his degree in agricultural education from Oklahoma State University. He then began his career as a high school agriculture teacher. After teaching for six years, he decided it was time to pursue his lifelong dream... music. He got his first guitar when he was nine years old. It came with a chord book that showed three chords. "The rest, I learned from watching Austin City Limits." He played all his life, but never took it seriously until he moved to Stillwater and was immersed in the culture.
