GOOD
RUN FRIEND! Good run indeed. Phil made it into
the top 12 before
the band (after outwardly stating it was his "best
performance yet") decided he was too unique
for them and booted him - not for performance characteristics
- rather by "questioning his commitment".
Perhaps that's because Phil is a vanguard and is
focused on setting his own standard of excellence,
not jumping into the one that was set 15 years
ago where certain others are apparently quite comfortably
wedged in a rut that reeks of four chord Rolling
Stones left overs.
The other contestant's
jaws hit the floor in unison as the capacity
crowd chanted "Phil,
Phil, Phil, Phil". There's more behind the
scenes than what they show on the screen. Use
the international publicity for all that its
worth and run with it!! Supernovas - though spectacular
at explosion - rapidly burn away to dust. You
are a rising star that will brilliantly burn
for decades to come. Let your voice be heard… and
watch the world rock.

IAP is a PROUD supporter of Phil
Ritchie on Rock Star Supernova. IAP had
the distinct honor of being the company of
choice to do a few photo shoots for Phil and
his band, Lennex
who abso-F'n-lutely ROCK!! We also hooked
them up with some sweet poster
prints from the shoot!
Those who know Phil will agree, he's got everything
it takes to be a true Rock Star... and then some.
This is one front man who is a rare find indeed.
The world is in for a rare treat when this guy
hits the screen!! We went to see his band at
every opportunity and strongly recommend that
you do the same!
A genuinely nice guy who straps it on like a
man possessed when he hits the stage. Phil has
an amazing range and control ,delicately lofting
from octave to octave with smooth precision or
screaming grit. He captivates all, rules the
stage with confidence and swagger, takes no prisoners
and leaves everyone breathless yet thirsting
for another round!

(MSN) Tattooed rocker Phil Ritchie is a bundle of surprising
contradictions wrapped in a coolly confident demeanor
and has opened for national acts like Cake, Fuel, Bon
Jovi and The Goo Goo Dolls.
PHIL RITCHIE: (Ocean City, MD) Once
a straight-A student? Former marching band member? Tattooed
rocker Phil Ritchie is a bundle of surprising contradictions
wrapped in a coolly confident demeanor.
Born in 1978 in the small town of Shadyside, Maryland,
Phil was constantly on the move as a child, finally landing
in Ocean City, Maryland. It was there that the impeccable
student and jazz band member found life in rock and roll
after he was asked to audition for the band Lennex. He
nailed the audition, subsequently fronting the group
with such success that they've toured the country racking
up impressive stage time with national acts like Cake,
Fuel, Bon Jovi and The Goo Goo Dolls.
An enigmatic, powerful performer, Phil finds musical
inspiration in the likes of (and among many others) Tom
Petty, Tool, Soundgarden, and Jeff Buckley. And with
that inspiration, he inspires us as well.
