Philip Page is a singer, songwriter, working cowboy and saddle maker based in Dillon, Montana. He has traveled across the intermountain west as a storyteller and played his songs at the National Cowboy Poetry gathering in Elko, Nevada.

Through Cowboy Music and Authentic Storytelling, Philip educates audiences about Montana’s early rich history, including exploration, early European settlement, gold exploration, Montana's prominent figures, and the beauty of Montana's landscape. It’s been said his music is a bridge between emotions and actual thoughts and endless visions of the mind. Music can inspire humanity and proper stewardship of one of the most beautiful places on the planet, Montana.

Many of Philip’s traditional Cowboy Tunes pay a tribute to Charlie Russell. Philip brings history to life through his storytelling. He pays tribute to some of the first ones to come to the Montana Territory after the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

It was an enjoyable evening of music, history and laughter. Refreshments followed his presentation.
