Raised in the Appalachian foothills of the Carolinas, Phillip Lammonds was immersed in music. As a boy, he listened to his father sing gospel songs on his grandfather’s Sunday morning radio show and spent hours stretched out alongside the upright piano while his aunts practiced for the Pentecostal service. Not that he just plays guitar. Lammonds is a musical virtuoso of sorts, equally gifted at playing mandolin and other stringed instruments.
He signed a publishing deal with Curb Records in Nashville and has written songs with or for artists like Darius Rucker, Lee Brice, Edwin McCain, Blake Shelton, Craig Morgan, Josh Turner and Hootie and the Blowfish, among others.
