MEET THOR PHILLIPS, the Australian singer-songwriter and guitar virtuoso who’s passionate, powerful performances are stirring up storms across the nation.
A professional musician for over 19 years, Thor has played countless solo and band gigs across the country.
His new self-recorded, self-produced album Higher Ground is his second full album showcasing a musical style that is rich and varied and song writing that goes straight to the heart.
Thor’s music refuses to be pigeon holed; most call him ‘Alt. Country’ or ‘Roots’... but with a nod to folk, a stomp of bluegrass and dusting of Americana.
What sets Thor apart is his dynamic energy, his confidence with the guitar, his rich voice, and his willingness to be both powerful and vulnerable within the same song.
Thor’s audiences, from the small halls on dirt country roads, to the mains stages of city music festivals, connect with his integrity and depth. They are songs that stay with you long after the guitar strings have stopped humming.
Thor is currently working on his third self produced album, due for release spring 2025.
