Fools On Stools On the first Sunday of every month, Calgary favourite Tom Phillips and Steve Coffey host an intimate acoustic set with their special guests.
SteveCoffey was raised on Traditional Country music, much of which was unwillingly pounded into his head through the walls between his bedroom and his father's rehearsal space (his dad was a honky-tonkin', beer swillin' steel guitar player). When he was eight his mother decided that this life just wasn't suited for raising kids and up and hauled him and his four siblings off West on a train to a small town in Alberta.
Tom Phillips and the Men of Constant Sorrow are members strong; Acoustic guitar/lead vocals, Pedal Steel, Bass, Drums/vocals, Mandolin and Lead electric guitar. At the core of the band is Tom Phillips. With the skill of an artisan and the soul of a true street poet, he creates songs which range from hard core honky tonk to heart wrenching ballads.
