Canada based Welsh guitarist (and former member of Uncle Kracker) Philip Sayce plays live and previews his new album.

Philip Sayce was born in Aberystwyth, Wales and grew up in Toronto, Canada, where his family moved when he was 2 years old. Growing up in a musical household he was particularly drawn to the guitar - being taken by his parents to an Eric Clapton concert left the young Sayce awestruck and in no doubt about which was the instrument for him - and also learned to play piano.

While still a teenager, Sayce was held in such high regard that, after jamming on stage with one of his heroes, guitar player and fellow Canadian Jeff Healey, he was invited to join Healey's band.

In 2001 he moved to Los Angeles. Philip joined Uncle Kracker and was with the band when they had their massive US No.1 Drift Away.

He starred in and wrote the music for the short film 'Cockroach Blue', directed by the award-winning Robert Crossman, which received high acclaim when it was shown at the Woodstock Film Festival.

Then, in 2003, Grammy and Oscar winner Melissa Etheridge came calling and he enjoyed playing and recording with her band until 2008.

Philip Sayce's new studio album 'Innerevolution' was recorded with his current touring band - keyboardist Fred Mandel (Queen, Supertramp, Elton John, Alice Cooper), bassist Joel Gottschalk and drummer Ryan MacMillan (Matchbox 20). Some of the new songs have been co-written with Richard Marx.
