Dried Arrangement is the band name used by Australian singer/songwriter, Phil Cole (www.driedarrangement.com). A late arrival on the singer/songwriter scene, Phil's debut Dried Arrangement CD was well received and created opportunities for numerous trips to Nashville to play shows at several venues, while working with professional mentors. Now an experienced writer/artist with a unique twist to both lyrics and melodies, Phil writes interesting out of the box retro feel rock and pop which he mostly performs solo. Phil's musical influences are varied and his inspirations include Aerosmith, Avion, Bad English, Eric Johnson, Evanescence, Heart, John Mayer, Sarah McLachlan, Thomas Dolby, Tom Petty and ZZ Top, making his music and his performances more than interesting! Phil has been told he sounds like; A-Ha, Alan Parsons Project, John Lennon, Michael Franks, Neil Young, Radiohead, Travelling Wilburys, Whitlams and XTC.
