PHIL COOPER

Phil Cooper is a contemporary folk-pop troubadour based in Bristol. He is best known as one third of folk / americana trio The Lost Trades, but has also been performing solo for the best part of two decades, sharing the stage with the likes of Badly Drawn Boy, The Bluetones, Mark Chadwick and many more. His vocals and varied songwriting have been compared to the likes of Neil Finn (Crowded House), Glenn Tilbrook (Squeeze), Stephen Stills and Glen Hansard. A live performance with Phil is friendly and engaging and you'll be sure to laugh and cry, all whilst tapping your feet, and humming along to the instantly catchy melodies he weaves.

Also working as a studio engineer and session musician, Phil usually operates remotely from his studio "The Lost Studio", in Bristol, but is more than happy to take on location based projects.

Phil is available as a session musician (guitar, bass, vocals & percussion) and as a mixing engineer and producer. He is also very open to songwriting collaborations, song arrangement and other projects.

Outside of music, Phil is a digital and social marketing expert and happy to offer his services as an advisor/consultant for artists, venues, festivals etc.
