Sneak Peek: Revisiting Phil Wiggins Podcast

Phil Wiggins: I feel like every note of music I've ever played in my life has been dance music, but it's never been presented as that, and that's always been a frustration to me. I don't feel like this music was ever meant for people sitting on their butts analyzing and-- it was meant to dance, and a lot of people nowadays don't think of music as dance music unless it has drums or unless it has the combination of bass and drums. That's what attracted me to Piedmont style to begin with, just this great rhythm. It's a really strong, really interesting, really fun rhythm. That really-- it can be tricky, it can be complicated at times, but really to me it makes you want to get up off your butt and move. And I always wanted to reconnect.
