Phil Tittle is a singer-songwriter based out of central Wisconsin. His decades long journey bringing him from the back roads of Georgia to the shores of Lake Michigan is evocative and compelling as the blues, southern rock, and country music he listened to growing up. His music is reflective of the stories gleaned from traveling the world during his career in the US Air Force combined with the influences of the artists who shaped his own sound and playing style. His music easily maneuvers between Roots-Rock peppered with tasteful guitar riffs invoking early Tom Petty or Bob Seger to more stripped back troubadour voicings reminiscent of Dylan, Jackson Browne and current songwriting powerhouse Jason Isbell. He recently wrapped up recording his first full album at Nashville’s famous Castle Recording Studio accompanied by some of Nashville’s finest session musicians and Grammy and Dove nominated producer, Billy Smiley.
Sunflowers in the Rain – ”I was on a trip to North Dakota out trying to take some pictures of the fields of sunflowers that were everywhere. Unfortunately, it was raining. The person driving made a comment apologizing for me having to take my pictures of the ’sunflowers in the rain’. Something about that contrasting image stuck in my head and set me off to writing. The words to this one came from that special place... no real intent, just letting the story come through me from wherever it originated. I think it’s about a girl with clinical depression who chooses to not let it define her or how she sees the world and the guy who sees the beauty in the contrast and loves her even more for it. It’s a love story for sure.”
