Creekside Bar and Grill is proud to present Phillip Walker. This top-notch Blues band will play from 8:30 pm - 11:30 pm at Creekside Bar & Grill, 3303 Brady Street, in Davenport, Iowa, on Wednesday, August 1, 2007. There is no cover charge to attend this show.

Phillip Walker comes from a great musical lineage. Around the age of sixteen, he became the lead guitarist of Clifton Chenier's Red Hot Louisiana Band and then moved on to play with Fats Domino. Phillip replaced the late Jimi Hendrix in the lead guitar slot of the old Little Richard Band.

From there, Phillip started to move west and settled in El Paso, Texas for several years where he teamed up with Long John Hunter to play the border town area of El Paso and Juarez, Mexico. He finally ended up in Los Angeles and caught the attention of Playboy Magazine's Hugh Hefner who promptly signed him to be the first artist to be recorded on the old Playboy record label.

Fifteen LPs and 2 Grammy Nominations later he is still going strong with his best selling CD to date, "Coming Home" (Delta Groove Records L.A.). According to Living Blues Magazine and Gavin Report, "Coming Home" has been the #1 top most air-played Blues recording in the US, Canada, Europe and the Pacific Rim for 3 months running.

Phillip Walker's show at Creekside Bar & Grill will feature twin horns, guitar, bass, and drums. His band is considered to be among the tightest and most powerful in the industry with players from the bands of Ray Charles, Soloman Burke, Little Milton, Taj Mahal and Big Joe Turner. This performance is bound to be one of the best shows that the "Quad-Cities only Blues venue" has had to-date.
