A good sized crowd had their minds blown by Shane Philip’s first visit to Lethbridge, Monday night (Jan. 25) at Henotic’s GCBC Lounge. The Vancouver Island based one band band sat on stage behind three didgeridoos and surrounded by a plenitude of drums, djembes guitars and instruments.During his second set featured Philip played drums, guitar and didgeridoo solos simultaneously while singing beautiful melodies and lyrics inspired by Mother Earth. He was most impressive during upbeat numbers during which he played some sick slide solos on his Weissenborn guitar, while singing and playing didgeridoo solos. He sounded like Toronto folk singer Rob Szabo if he played a didgeridoo.
He had a couple people dancing to the music and everybody else cheering as he switched effortlessly between instruments. His music was seemless as he switched instruments mid song and kept the energy level high. After some upbeat numbers, he played several low key numbers and even had the audience singing along with one of his older songs.
