Henry Phillips has been seen and heard performing his twisted songs and stories on 'Comedy Central Presents', ABC's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', as well as satellite and terrestrial radio nationwide. His critically acclaimed albums, fusing mellow folk-rock ballads with psychopathic lyrics have earned him mention in Billboard magazine's 'Critic's Choice', as well as acclaim from such notable artists as Moby, who refers to Phillips' songs as "disconcertingly funny". His semi-biographical comedy film "Punching the Clown" received the Audience award at Slamdance film festival '09, and is currently available on Hulu and Amazon prime.
