The Phil Collins Experience
Saturday, June 8 at 8:00pm

Phil Collins is one of only three recording artists, along with Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, who have sold over 100 million records worldwide both as solo artists and separately as principal members of a band. 

He has received eight Grammy Awards, six Brit Awards (winning Best British Male Artist three times), two Golden Globe Awards, one Academy Award, and a Disney Legend Award. 
The role of Phil Collins is performed to perfection by KC Magazine’s BEST MALE VOCALIST Terry Adams Jr. 

Our British born and raised front man will make you forget that he’s not Phil! Terry Adams Jr brings the look, the sound, the emotion, the energy. The true feel of Phil Collins! 

Backed by his world class 12 piece band complete with a sensational horn section and back up singers, Terry Adams Jr happens to be a world class drummer himself that plays his drums left handed just like Phil Collins for the true experience. 

Since 2018 our show has been wowing audiences at festivals, theaters and private events nationwide.

Immerse yourself in the world of Phil Collins and Genesis with their greatest hits like: “In The Air Tonight “, “Sussudio”, “Invisible Touch”, “That’s All”, and many many more! 

This show is NOT TO BE MISSED

I JUST LOVE TO PLAY MUSIC!
If I can get you to tap your foot, sing along, or better yet get up and dance then we're all havin' a good time.  

I grew up on 70's and 80's Rock and then fell in love with 90's Country and have been 2 steppin' since!   So I'm going to mix those genres together in my shows cause I want to see you go "oh yeah, I remember that one!".   

My primary instrument growing up was the Acoustic Guitar.  About 20 years ago I picked up the Bass and have been playing that ever since in various bands along the way and in my church praise band every Sunday.   Don't be surprised to see me break out a harmonica as well - you can check that out on the Video's page!

The universal need for laughter makes it easy for him to perform for any audience.
