Phil "Philharmonic" Livengood's primary instrument is the Diatonic or Tremolo Harmonica. At the age of 12 he started playing the harmonica while driving farm equipment on his family's farm in Northwest Missouri. At that time it was the best way to get many hours of practice without annoying anyone. After college and moving to Texas for employment in the gas pipeline field, he advanced to playing in many texas oprys, sitting in with bands, writing songs and performing studio work.
Phil started in the S.R.B. as a sit in musician in late 2002 then later became a full time member of the band. Phil has put fourth his fullest effort to create his own style of playing to make the harmonica a strong lead and rhythm instrument. To add taste to the S.R.B. sound, Phil aslo plays the diatonic accordion, percussion instruments and rhythm guitar. Phil is always willing to help others both young and old who have interest in learning how to play harmonica.
