Blessed with the angelic voice of an Irish tenor and guided by his belief that “music is something we feel and share,” Phil brings warmth, sincerity, and heartfelt presence to every performance. His ability to connect with an audience makes each song feel personal, alive, and deeply meaningful.

Known for his generosity and collaborative spirit, Phil often says it’s “a dream come true” to share the stage with such talented, seasoned, and giving musicians. To him, music is a shared journey—one he’s grateful to travel alongside the people who inspire him every day.

Jules is a founding member of Canadian indie legends Captain Tractor, the beloved folk-rock band that has been an essential part of Edmonton’s musical identity for decades. Their sound has often drawn comparisons to Great Big Sea, The Pogues, and Spirit of the West, yet the band’s distinct voice—rich with Alberta references, characters, and landscapes—has always set them apart.

As one of the original driving forces behind the group, Jules helped shape Captain Tractor’s signature energy: high-velocity reels, raucous pub-style choruses, and narrative songs that celebrate the quirks and rhythms of life in Western Canada. Over the years, he has toured extensively, recorded multiple albums, and contributed to the band’s enduring reputation as one of the country’s most spirited and theatrical live acts.

With roots in musical theatre, Jules brings a dynamic, expressive presence to the stage—an influence that helped shape the band’s signature blend of grit, humour, and theatrical flair. Beyond Captain Tractor, he has recorded with Paul Gross and a wide range of indie collaborators, reflecting his versatility and deep commitment to Canada’s independent music community.
