Stripmall Ballads

PLEASE GO TO www.STRIPMALLBALLADS.com for the NEWEST FOLKLORE.Stripmall Ballads is a vehicle for original compositions and contextual performancess of Phillips Saylor. The music is just as the title says - ballads, from the stripmall, with the occasional punkass folk-noir opera thrown in. The stories are true and the names have been changed to convict the guilty. With a firm rooting in the traditional, Stripmall Ballads branches out into today's America, fusing virtuosic historical convention with contemporary lyricism. Reviving an engaging form of folk showmanship, Stripmall Ballads draws out the audience, demanding attention for a ancient new poetry.
