ABOUTNOTHING
Phil Rushworth
Phil started playing bass in grade 9 after he was given a self-learning cassette tape by an orchestra leader in Saint John New Brunswick. He played bass in the orchestra and the Jazz band during High School and branched out when in university.
In Military College it became apparent that Phil could not march up and down the parade square with his electric bass since the extension cord kept tripping the flute players (clumsy lot). So he took up the tuba, with the intent of being an all around bassist.
Playing in the concert band, jazz band, jazz combo and even playing euphonium in a brass quartet while in military college allowed Phil to hone his musical skills and his ear.
Fast forward several years and Phil is in Ottawa where he played with Dam Tuesdays until moving to a little known progressive rock super-group called Prime Numbers. As Prime Numbers became harder and harder to calculate, Phil answered an add on the trusty Ottawa Musician website and joined a fantastic group headed by Louise Gloor where Chris Lepage was drumming. Chris led Phil to Nothing and now you should listen to the music (again).
