Phil Akers + Musician in Arlington, VA

SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm a guitarist and vocalist who's been gigging regularly in the Northern Virginia area for the past few years and I'm looking for a new project to form or join. I play just about all the classics, but I also try to keep up to date with more current music and I'm always learning new songs.
