  • Bio

    Philadelphia, PA based electric and upright bassist, multi instrumentalist, composer. Session musician, performance, accompanist, instructor/teacher, etc. Recently released debut solo record of instrumental music entitled "Music From A Sinking Ship." Listen here, click below to purchase. .. .......... .. Here are a few self aggrandizing press clippings if you're interested: .. Ten amiable instrumentals from bassist Philip D'Agostino. Inhabiting a sonic landscape somewhere between Bill Frisell's Americana and Medeski Martin & Wood's groove, D'Agostino's funk is soulful and his humor joyful. The songs don't wear out their welcome but still provide plenty of opportunity for D'Agostino's fellow musicians to shine. The bassist also contributes banjo, mandolin and on the album's best track, "Colleen"-Rhodes piano... ..~Origivation Magazine, March 2010.... .. "Music From A Sinking Ship is a brilliantly crafted album with hints of so many different styles and genres of music that make this album so enjoyable to listen to. The album is all instrumental but the array of different instruments used definitely adds different voices and layers to the songs. This album is a great display of Philip D'Agostino's musicianship and his ability to play a seemingly endless list of instruments. Also, it's nice to see other musicians lending their skills to this album. All in all, love the album and I listen to it often. Yes, that means you should definitely get yourself a copy.".. ..~Review from foreverlostinasong.com.... .. Philip D’Agostino is a Philadelphia-based bassist with Wissahickon Chicken Shack, Hezekiah Jones, Papertrees, the Spinning Leaves, Adrien Reju, Joshua Park, David Janes, Suzie Brown, and others. In his juggling act of artists, D’Agostino jumps from style to style to accompany other artists. This past June (at the Miles and Maggie Fest in Fleetwood, PA), however, D’Agostino released a full-length album entirely his own. Entitled Music from a Sinking Ship, this album allows D’Agostino to come into his own, and he does this with tremendous musicianship and a veteran bassist’s sense of groove... ..~88.5 WXPN All About the Music blog 7/22/09.... .. "The musician to watch is Philip D'Agostino. He has become the bass player for the Wissahickon Chicken Shack, Adrien Reju, and a few other bands. One wonders how he keeps his schedule straight. He blends into every project and also has some solo instrumental material. He is rock, jazz, bluegrass and other styles all in one musician. And yet, he doesn't come off as a music snob. He is always friendly and never any trouble.".. ..~David W. Wannop; Ticket Entertainment, Montgomery Newspapers.... .. "Upright bassist Phil D'Agostino holds down the rhythm section with his doghouse-style slaps and plucks. While D'Agostino's methods are perfectly in sync with the Shack's bluegrass tendencies, his training and experience have led him to lay out the low end in several musical settings from jazz and funk to Indian and experimental.".. ~..Joshua Valocchi, Play Magazine, from an article about Wissahickon Chicken Shack... .. .. ..Hezekiah Jones at World Cafe Live.... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Cast Spells, Good Old War, and Hezekiah Jones playing "A Badge" at Maxwell's in Hoboken, NJ.... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Wissahickon Chicken Shack At Camp Jam in the Pines, Nj.... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..papertrees at World Cafe Live.... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Up the Chain on the 10!
