Jon Phillip (born May 18, 1979 in Kenosha, Wisconsin) is an American musician, sober living enthusiast & record collector. He currently plays with Josh Berwanger of the Anniversary. He spent much of the mid-2000s playing drums for the now-defunct California-based twangy rock band Limbeck. He has also played for Tommy Stinson of The Replacements, Trapper Schoepp and the Shades, 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 Nashville, Tennessee, where he does studio recordings, co-runs Good Land Records and attends college to become a substance abuse counselor.[2]
JP performed with Josh Berwanger on a Midwest tour in Spring 2014, then later that year finished a new full-length album with Berwanger. In June, Sept & Oct 2014 he toured the U.S. with the Paul Collins Beat. In January 2015, he joined Trapper Schoepp & The Shades on drums for a west coast tour opening for The Jayhawks.
