Phil Wiggins is a versatile traditional harmonica player, continuing the Piedmont blues tradition, a gentle and melodic blues style of the mid-Atlantic region. He plays the diatonic ten-hole harmonica in the country blues style, cupping both hands around the instrument and playing acoustically. His sound is not shaped by the gear, the microphone or amplifier when performing on stage; instead, he relies on complex syncopated patterns, breath-control and rhythm, stylistic virtuosity and fiery solo runs.

THREE CHAIRS...
NOT YOUR ORDINARY MUSIC PERFORMANCE, but life, told through music and communicated in a live, interactive vocal music and? theatrical performance show. Developed over coffee and conversation, by three vocalist friends: Audrey Shakir, Renée Collins Georges and Theresa Sise; the concept of THREE CHAIRS, stems from the diversity and colorful life stories of the three women of different ages, voices and musical backgrounds. They come together to create a quilt of musical stories, which is at the core of their being; the very essence of their soul.
