New York audiences are in for a rare treat this weekend, when Chicago based singer-songwriter Phil Lomac plays Arlene’s Grocery. Phil is touring in support of his brand new record, Stranger’s Funeral, sure to be seen as one of the more exciting offerings of 2010.

Phil’s music has been compared to Elliot Smith’s or Nick Cave’s. His songs shine with a certain clarity of thought and expression. Solid songwriting and arrangements are matched to lyrics that have power and genuine depth. Phil’s songs always have a backbone. Dig a little deeper and there is always a little more underneath. We’ve decide to feature the title track off Stranger’s Funeral for your listening pleasure. Phil doesn’t perform east of the Catskills often, so lovers of crafty songwriting: now is your chance to hear one of Chicago’s best.
