Phillip Roebuck

Phillip Roebuck (born 2nd August 1971) is a Virginia-born, New York-bred songster and bare bones one-man band. With punk rock intensity, Roebuck stomps out beats on a classic, depression-era drum apparatus, while strumming the banjo with a fierce ragged-but-right style. Some might call it Roots music for the new millennium.
Although he has played over a thousand shows in venues and on festival stages in the U.S. and Europe, Roebuck can just as easily be seen performing on a street corner in New Orleans or New York City or Norfolk, where he has spent nearly a decade honing his skills as a one-man band.
Roebuck was born in Norfolk, VA into a huge musical family (“I think I have 60 cousins, something like that”), so big that they have a music festival every July out in Pungo, a rural county of his hometown, Virginia Beach.
