One-Man Band
Phil Stendek is a one-man musical sensation from Las Vegas that creates the sound of a full band, all on his own! He accomplishes this through a very complicated art form called "looping."
Originally hailing from St. Louis, MO, Phil began a foray into music in the early 90s by playing with local bands around his hometown. After discovering the art of looping in 2002, all of his focus and dedication went into perfecting that craft.
His sound is a powerful arrangement of Acoustic-Pop music with an emphasis on Reggae and Funk but he is able to delve into many different genres as well. The songs he performs are powerful, the musicianship is impressive, and the live show is super-energetic and always entertaining.
What is Looping?
Phil has impressively mastered the talent of live looping. It involves equal parts dexterity and creativity combined with an incredible musical ability. He earned the title of BOSS US Looping Champion in 2010. Here is a quick breakdown of how it all happens.
Phil takes a guitar, drum set, keyboards, turntables, and a microphone and records a short passage of each instrument's part individually into a foot-operated recording device called a loop station. After being recorded, these parts can be played back instantly and layered over each other to produce the sound of a full band. Phil has gotten so good at this skill that he often layers two instruments simultaneously to speed up the process!
Here's the Plan...
Now that you know the date that Phil Stendek will be at our waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks (Thursday, June 20, 2019) be sure to get your calendars marked, plans made to be here, and phone calls made telling your friends to do the same! It will be a perfect evening by the water. Come in a little early to enjoy dinner off of the best menu at the Lake of the Ozarks and then stick around for a few cocktails and this amazing performance.
If you're coming from out of town, make it a long weekend! Go ahead and head down a day early for a 3-day weekend and plan to spend your bonus day off chilling in our awesome pool. There will be more amazing music going on all weekend long. We've got the always entertaining DJ Kyle on Friday, June 21, and another Dog Days favorite, the Mixtapes, rocking the house on Saturday, June 22. Another exciting extended weekend at Dog Days Bar & Grill. Believe us, you're going to be sad if you miss it!
