The 2017 Rockin’ the Forest music series concludes on Saturday, Nov. 11, at 8 p.m. with Matt Phillips & The Back Pocket. The concert will take place inside the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre for the Arts at 405 Brooks Street.
Matt Phillips & The Back Pocket is a soulful band that strives to make music people can get behind. After aging out of his high-school band, Cole Park, Matt Phillips continued his solo career into college at ECU. With folk and soul roots as deep as the cracks in his weathered acoustic, Matt has crafted his songwriting skills working alongside Django Haskins (International Orange, The Old Ceremony) and began pumping out songs known for their emotionality and loveable lyrics.
With nearly 300 shows already under their belt, Matt Phillips & The Back Pocket combines stellar songwriting, soulful vocals, and a full ensemble of musicians into a unique band with a very bright future.
