JIMMY PHOENIX

 

Jimmy Phoenix’s vocals are operatic in scope and have a gutsy folk Australiana tinge to them.

This takes the listener deep into sonic bliss territory. A landscape of formation that is noir, cinematic and unique, yet leaving you comfortably familiar.

Jimmy is the main songwriter/frontman for A Whale Called Phoenix and Gypsy Collector. 

AWCP comes from somewhere where the desert meets the sea and is dusted with a 70’s SoCAL vibe offering a strong sense of melody, engaging harmonies whilst also having something to say. 

This is then totally flipped to the dark brooding sounds of Gypsy Collector, futuristic with an industrial pulse.

His adaptability and being a lover of all music has also led him to tour with the folk supergroup Row Jerry Crow in their Keep The Circle Unbroken shows and singing with the likes of Kylie Aulist, Tim Rogers,Freya Josephine Hollick, Mick Thomas and many more.

In the summer of 2015, Nero and Phoenix took their sound to a string of pubs and bars in St Kilda where they would play to their wives, Jimmy’s mum and various house sound guys. Great times had by all! AWCP set upon the mysterious Heatherton Trail to find some extra magic to widen their sound. This came in the shape of long-time compadres Anthony ‘Quesadilla’ Casey on bass and …
