Phillip-Michael was born in Michigan, forged in Chicago, and resides in Nashville, TN. He calls his music "Dive Bar Soul," a blend of Indie Rock storytelling and the passion of the blues. Sounds like: Leon Bridges, Lake Street Dive, Jon Batiste

Fifteen seconds into his upcoming album Good to Be Here (out April 25), Phillip-Michael Scales sings, “Toes pointed toward the road / Hard times picking at my bones,” before launching into the anthemic chorus: “I couldn’t walk away if I tried / I’m gonna light up the sky.” The song sets a determined tone for the album, reflecting Scales’ journey as an artist.

In Chicago, Scales honed his craft, playing 308 gigs in 2018 and crediting the city with teaching him how to hustle. This drive carried him to Nashville, where he gained traction on the radio station; Lightning 100, released his debut album Sinner-Songwriter, toured Europe, appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and opened national tours for Keb’ Mo’ and Caravan Palace. Grammy-nominated producer Dan Knobler (Lake Street Dive, Allison Russell, and Bahamas) later joined forces with Scales to produce Good to Be Here.

Without a label or viral hit, Scales has built his career through relentless effort—long drives behind tour busses, self-management, and learning the business firsthand. His music channels the grit of Stax-era soul, cataloging the journey of building a dream brick by brick. Make no mistake there is an undercurrent of fun throughout whether he’s finding love in “Can’t Get Enough” or getting his swagger back in “Be My Own Man.” As Scales puts it: “I wouldn’t say that I’ve ‘arrived,’ but... it’s good to be here.”

Inspired by the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Sammy Rae & The Friends and Lake Street Dive, New Hampshire based and Proudly Female Fronted, Fox and The Flamingos bring soul, rhythm, and high energy to the stage. Their original music about love, friendship, believing in yourself, and of course, thrilling James Bond inspired heists, balances strength and vulnerability with driving grooves and soaring vocals.

Celebrating the release of their first album, "Spirit Animal" in 2025, the future is bright! But for Fox and The Flamingos, the journey started in 2021 out of decades of musicianship and the desire to create a fun, energetic, captivating and original experience. A super group of sorts, each member brings a unique set of talents and abilities to the table. The culmination of this results in the creation of not just a band but a family. This becomes very evident on and off of the stage which materializes a very unique and high energy visual and musical show.

As a result of their musicianship and presence, they have been granted amazing opportunities to play to some of the best audiences in New Hampshire, book multiple gigs at venues, record with Boardz House Productions, perform at some amazing weddings, and opening for the great, groovy band and key inspiration to Maizy Rae, Harsh Armadillo to a sold our crowd at The Press Room.
