Barry Phillips was born in Kitchener Ontario. But his family moved back to Cape Breton Nova Scotia when he was a young child as his parents were both from there originally. Like many kids growing up in Cape Breton he has been playing music since he was 8 years old. He has played in a couple different rock bands over the years but has gone back to his Celtic roots and now plays in the Celtic trio Travel-Worn. His first instrument was the accordion and also plays piano, guitar and bodhran which he uses to accompany his vocals. |
