Jon Phillip (born May 18, 1979 in Kenosha, Wisconsin) is an American musician and record man. He is currently the drummer for Josh Berwanger of the Anniversary and Tommy Stinson, with occasionally playing for Trapper Schoepp & The Shades. He spent much of the mid-2000s playing drums for the now-defunct California-based twangy rock band Limbeck. He has also played in Drive-Thru Records' power-pop band The Benjamins, The Obsoletes, Ben Weasel & His Carnegie Bandsmen, Shaft, and a punk band in high school called Tralfez.[1]

Phillip was nominated for the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) award for 2012 Drummer of the Year, but lost to the drummer of the award show's house band. Investigation is underway.

He currently lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he co-founded and runs Good Land Records.[2]

JP played drums for Josh Berwanger on a Midwest tour in Spring 2014 as well as making a new record with him the first week of December. In June, Sept & Oct 2014 he toured the U.S. with the Paul Collins Beat and will commence playing many live performances and studio recording.

In January 2015 he will join Trapper Schoepp & The Shades on drums for a west coast tour opening for The Jayhawks.
