PHILIP FOXMAN AND PRIME 8-WEST 4TH AND CHARLES

Critically-acclaimed CD "West 4th and Charles" which fused shades of countrified -rock tunes with dark story telling.
Australian born singer-songwriter storytelling abilities focus on his incisive and intimate lyrics sung in an earthy-vulnerable manner, which can’t help but draws the listener into his world of city-wise characters.

 PHILIP FOXMAN- UP ANTENNA


Second solo CD "Up Antenna", combining classic acoustic guitar driven pop-songwriting with gritty electronic tones and grooves, amped-up with textural electric guitars, tempered by violins and mandolins resulting in a heartfelt sophisticated-pop sound reminiscent of David Gray, Neil Finn and Jakob Dylan.
Songs off both CD’s have been featured in MTV shows: The Hills, Laguna Beach, The Real World, Road Rules, Behind the Music as well as several international TV shows and films. Australian TV shows, Guerrilla Gardeners, Recuits, Bondi Rescue, Get Away, H2O just add water.
