Express yourself! A twenty year veteran of writing songs and performing them around the world, Mo Phillips engages students in the craft of song writing and how to get stories, emotions, and ideas into song form.

About the Artist
Mo played shows for over 2 decades on 4 continents to the big folks. Now, when he's not in schools rocking out with kids, he's at his weekly shows rocking out with kids. Either way, he's rocking out with kids.
[The big idea was] "...enjoyment of music, writing songs. His joy came through. The kids had a fun experience." -5th Grade Teacher, Portland private school
