Who is B-Wack? This is:
B-Wack, otherwise known as Bilbo-The-Beatmaster, Soulpatch, or Jeremy, plays drums for the David Crowder Band. Every night he performs his percussive wizardry from his throne of leather and steel. With wooden sticks in hand, and a full heart in his chest he beats his instrument into submission with such commanding force that leaves every listener awestruck and wanting more. And today I sit beside him in a small starbucks in El Paso, Texas exploring the “WWW” for that which may arrest our attention.
Today is a day off. The first breather of a few that we have during this seven week tour. Last night was a great way to end the first leg. We played at the only outdoor venue of the whole tour. It was hot, it was humid, and it was very country.
Even the name of the venue says it: “Floore’s Country Store”. This is one of the most interesting venues I have ever played. Sitting a few miles outside of San Antonio this country store was not much of a store at all, but a weathered and historic venue that has had the likes of B.B. King and Willie Nelson singing from the stage. Though Floores sits a bit off of the beaten path, the 3200 person venue was a few hundred oversold, which always makes for a fun time.
It was a great night. So thanks to all who came out for it.
Tomorrow is Albuqueque. Looking forward to it.

I was at that show at Floores. Its a shame that you saw the country side of San Antonio; Floores is literally about a mile outside of SA. I must say, you played an amazing show – I absolutely LOVED IT! The outside venue concert was awesome. All the Christian concerts I’ve ever gone to were a bit boring because they were all in seats, and this was the first one I had gone to that was G.A. & I love outside shows, which both equaled AMAZING! Sorry about the weather. . . it was gross. But our weather now is fantabulous.
Here is a clip of your show from that night. Enjoy!

Yay, My Cannons cd came in the mail today finally. It’s phenomenal! I’m pretty sure it’s my favorite out of your cds. All the songs are just… so inspiring. Amazing lyrics. God bless
Philly, i want to thankyou for your music. It is an amazing gift from God and has gotten me through some really tough weeks. Jesus is amazing!
Phil,
The wiltern was great. To be honest, we left before David Crowder, shhh…don’t tell him. But we had been pinned against the back wall of the first tier. The worship was phenomenal! I was surpirsed though, I was having a wonderful time singing along, and I only heard one other girl singing with me (and you). I guess I figured the world knew about you too…not just everyone at Calvary Chapel. BUT, ALL those people got introduced to the gift you have been given. I heard a lot of people saying they hadn’t known who you were but loved it. Thank you for your nice acoustic worship set, and tell your one man band, Gibson, that he did good too =). Praise God!
Your Sister in Christ >

Phil, you were AWESOME at the Fillmore last night. Rock on, and may God continue to grow your incredible talent.
