Based in Baton Rouge, LA, Phil Harmonix (Phil Chandler) is a touring guitarist and pianist who knows how to turn big-stage experience into a soft, romantic soundtrack for your day.
Phil has spent years on the road, playing across the U.S. and overseas, including three tours in Switzerland, shows in Bangkok, sets on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, and even the legendary Whisky A-Go-Go in L.A. He’s opened for artists as varied as Alabama, Jason Boland, Hawthorne Heights, Clay Walker, Lorrie Morgan, Tracy Byrd, The LACs, and Gyth Rigdon from The Voice.
At a wedding, though, that energy gets translated into something more intimate:
Mellow acoustic guitar and contemporary piano covers that feel modern, warm, and effortless.
Think Ed Sheeran, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Chris Stapleton, and easygoing classics that guests actually know and love. Phil’s style leans into laid-back grooves and heartfelt love songs—perfect for:
Ceremonies with emotional, tasteful versions of songs you already love
Cocktail hours where guests can talk, laugh, and still recognize every tune.
Rehearsal dinners that feel special without turning into a full-blown bar gig
Phil’s song list ranges from timeless favorites to modern crowd-pleasers, including songs like “Thinking Out Loud,” “Tennessee Whiskey,” “Banana Pancakes,” “Hey There Delilah,” “You and Me,” and many more. He’s comfortable moving between pop, country, and classics, so the music feels welcoming to your friends and your family.
Behind the scenes, Phil is as professional as it gets. He brings a compact, high-quality sound system that’s ideal for ceremonies and smaller receptions, along with a wireless microphone that can be used for your officiant, speeches, and toasts. He coordinates with your planner or venue so your cues and transitions feel smooth and intentional, not rushed or awkward.
Phil Harmonix is a great fit for couples who want:
A seasoned performer, not a hobbyist
Acoustic or piano covers that feel modern and romantic, not cheesy
A relaxed, slightly coastal vibe with room for a little country crossover
Someone easygoing, prepared, and comfortable handling live moments on an important day
If your dream is to walk down the aisle and sip cocktails to soft, modern, thoughtfully-chosen songs played by someone who’s been on big stages but knows this day is about you, Phil Harmonix is ready to set the tone.
