How Do We Stop North Korea's Kim Jong Un? Dennis Rodman To The Rescue [AUDIO]

Richie Phillips — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 12:01:11 +0000

This guy is scary – no other way to put it. I don’t see or ambassador John Kerry making much headway. It seems that there is only one person qualified to handle the job of calming down this new age dictator, and he wears a nose ring. Yes, it’s Dennis Rodman, the NBA Hall of [...]

Richie Phillips — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 23:11:51 +0000

Nope. Hate to complain, but I didn’t see much at all to be honest. I stand corrected. I did get to see him do my favorite song of his (“No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem”), but there were some folks in the audience who gave us a BIG problem, which I will explain musically Kenny [...]

I was very upset this past Friday. We have just completed our “Open Line Friday” show, which is all well and good, but I didn’t get to say (or shall I say SING what was on MY mind), so I went into the GNA production studio and recorded this little video message for you The [...]

I’m leaving for vacation, but I’m doing it with a smile on my face. I can thank the incredible teachers and kids at Slingerlands Elementary for that. Take a listen to this great parody of “Call Me Maybe“. I have been to Mrs. Bacher’s class before. Her group was great then, and certainly didn’t [...]

Richie's Carnival Cruise Parody Song [AUDIO]

Richie Phillips — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 14:03:40 +0000

What a tragedy at sea! But then again, as I’ve learned from Saturday Night Live and other shows, comedy can come from unfortunate circumstances. You have to laugh these days or you’ll go crazy, correct? So with that in mind, I present my song about this incident, with apologies to “Little Big Town” I don’t [...]

Richie Creates Willie Nelson Spoof Song To Promote Taste Of Country Music Festival [AUDIO]

Richie Phillips — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 12:49:42 +0000

I've always had a great time at least attempting to impersonate one of my favorite country artists, Willie Nelson. I'm not sure if I sound more like Willie here or George H.W. Bush, but either way, I had a blast recording this. This song rhymes all of the artists coming to the fantastic Taste of Country Music Festival. Have you gotten your tickets yet?

The kids from Mrs. Reilly’s class at the All Saints Academy love the song ”I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas“. Unfortunately, Santa is going to need a part time job, because that’s not ALL these kids want! Take a listen What is very ironic about this song is that it was recorded THE YEAR I [...]

Sean McMaster — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 16:22:47 +0000

Wow, I thought for sure after the auto-tuned debates that I shared with you , the Gregory Brothers were done with the election. Thankfully they have just given us the funniest yet! I can’t stop watching this video. You will love this one , no matter who you voted for. I guess we don’t have to feel [...]

With keyboard in hand, Richie led the crowd through some fun sing-a-longs, name that tune, and a parody of ‘Pontoon’ to announce [...]

Richie Performs Song About Northway Road Construction at Adirondack Corvette Club [AUDIO]

Richie Phillips — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 12:42:53 +0000

These people at the Adirondack Corvette Club LOVE their cars. The only thing they’re not thrilled about is having them parked on the Twin Bridges due to road construction. I tried to ease their pain (and now possibly yours) with a little “construction sing-along”. Enjoy! There must be a good, logical reason for closing the [...]

How Do You Cover Up Baldness? Try The Good Old Combover [AUDIO]

Richie Phillips — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:37:36 +0000

Baldness is no fun. I miss my advancing hairline. I’m kind of sensitive about it, but a friend of mine had an idea for a song parody about this very subject. All he had was the title, but it made me laugh so hard that I decided to “lighten up” and go with it. Results [...]

Countryfest Performance Debut – Only Took Richie 19 Years! [VIDEO]

Richie Phillips — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:37:56 +0000

This was a major thrill. I've done little things here and there over the years, but there was so much of a time constraint in the past for local acts that it really was difficult. That's what I loved about this year's Countryfest the most - it gave a lot of Capital Region artists the chance to show their wares, and the Lost Cantina Band was nice enough to let me do the same.
