As plans are being finalized for this year’s event, the lineup looks
spectacular. The show will once again be at the Old Rock House in downtown St.
Louis. The
bill consists of The
Hatrick, Big
Brother Thunder and The Master Blasters, The
Lightning Bottle Band, Stickley
and Canan, The
Scandaleros, The
Snarky Gargoyles, Plaid
to the Bone, and The
Cosmic Collaborative Dancers.
This year’s event is expected to be a huge success with the largest crowd
yet. Each year, the Phillip-A-Looza Committee set’s a goal for fundraising that
year. This year’s goal is $20,000.00
The event is held in memory of Phillip Wright, who died in May of 2006 after
a particularly grueling battle with the dreaded disease. He was a military
veteran, a loving husband, father and grandfather and a community leader in his
hometown of Creve Coeur. His son, Phil, who is a high school teacher and coach
at Hazelwood West, also plays in the local blues rock outfit, The Lightnin’
Bottle Band.
