Phillip Phillips Performs at the 2017 CMT Artists of the Year Awards

Phillip Phillips, who has been enjoying a well-deserved break after a long summer tour, made an appearance at the CMT Artist of the Year Awards in Nashville last night. Though Phillip’s performance was announced at the last minute (the morning of the show) his performance was nothing close to rushed or improvised.

Phillip performed Sam Hunt’s “Body Like a Back Road,” a huge country hit that has broken several records since it was released in February this year. The song sounded amazing with Phillip’s voice adding some soulfulness to the sexy lyrics and a great band that included keys, guitar, horns and backing vocals. The performance earned Phillips rave reviews, not only from his fans, but from country music fans who may not have known Phillip’s music until last night.

Phillip has been spending a lot of time in Nashville in the last several months. His long awaited third album, due to come out (we hope) early next year, was partially written in Nashville, where he has collaborated with some great musicians and songwriters on a number of new songs.

Phillip attended the show with his wife Hannah, and the two posed together at the red carpet before the show. Take a look a Phillip’s performance as well as some photos from the event, below!

Photos: Phillip Phillips 2017 Summer Tour

What is that strange magic that makes live music and photography go so well together? Because while live music is ephemeral and forever moving like a flowing river, photography is static and permanent. Perhaps it’s due to photography’s ability to catch a moment, to capture a few magical seconds in a performance and make it last forever so we can go back again and again to feel its spellbinding power.

Phillip Phillips’ summer tour had many of such moments, with shows at some historic venues such as Bethel Woods, where the Woodstock festival took place, and Austin City Limits Live’s Moody Theater in Austin, TX, home of the highly regarded PBS music special. Phillip wrapped his 2017 tour in Bend, OR on September 19. As a recap, here are just a few of our favourite photos from the summer. Here is hoping for more exciting announcements in the coming months, and of course a new tour to promote his new album.

Phillip Phillips Rocks Austin City Limits Live, Releases Acoustic Version of Miles

Phillip Phillips made a very special stop last Friday, September 8th, when he performed at the Austin City Limits Live‘s Moody Theater. The day before, Phillip helped members of the Goo Goo Dolls to collect food items for those affected by the storm in Houston before their show in The Woodlands, TX.

Though the show in Austin was (regrettably) not recorded as part of celebrated Austin City Limits PBS series, it was nonetheless a special performance in an already stellar summer tour and stops at some amazing venues.

Phillip also surprised fans this Friday by releasing an acoustic version on “Miles,” his latest single. The recording features cellist Dave Eggar, who has been touring with Phillip this summer and accompanying Phillip during the acoustic VIP shows. The acoustic version captures the warm energy of those intimate performances — all the better to appreciate the gorgeous melody and moving lyrics of the song.
