Listening to their instrumentation and orchestral arrangements you will readily discover their potential for greatness is simply palpable. Cayne has been classically trained in piano for eight years and playing for twelve. David and Andy are both self-taught musicians.

In person, and during their witty banter in between songs on stage, you will find these three young men endearing, awkwardly funny, and incredibly sweet. They are brothers drawn together to explore their own musical renaissance. Having just reached the winter of their teens, their innocence and sincerity will pull fans in to find their own fists clenching at nostalgic summer days with bruised teenaged knuckles. These three young men may be comical, humble, and sweetly adorable, but their music is not to be taken lightly. With their booming stadium-ready sounds and stirring melodies, they are set to continue to steadily gain fans of all ages around the globe.

We Are the City will convince you with their good hearts and inspiring sounds to come and be a part of their city.

More about Kritter Kookies
Kritter Kookies bakery began over 18 years ago by a wonderful woman named Cassy. She abandoned her Veterinary Medicine degree for a degree in Agriculture and Animal Nutrition. Her studies prompted her idea to create a nutritious, all natural pet treat. Thus became the birth of Kritter Kookies and Smackin’ Snax treats. Only the best quality, human-grade ingredients are used in her recipe.

After 16 years of producing Smackin’ Snax, Cassy’s health forced her to sell Kritter Kookies. She wanted to find a new owner who had the drive and commitment to keep her dream thriving. Cassy met Lucy Gladhart in March 2009 and started training with Lucy on how to bake Smackin’ Snax perfectly. It is an acquired skill that cannot be achieved overnight. During the training, Cassy shared the wonderful stories and pictures of the Kritter Kookies customers and their loving pets. Their pictures are posted on the walls of the bakery. Soon after the purchase of Kritter Kookies in March, 2010, Lucy introduced a new shape called “Tiny Snax”. There had been many requests from customers for a very small training treat – so the Tiny Snax are half the size of the Mini Snax. They are perfect training treats for small breed dogs and just the right size treat for small exotics such as Ferrets, Hedgehogs, Rats, Chinchillas and Sugar Gliders.

His mother, staying only long enough to wrap the boy in a traveling blanket, made the long journey up the Alaskan Highway which stretches over 2000 miles of dirt road leading the weary traveler to either the Yukon or Alaska, which are both located in the far, far, north.

Phil spent the first 20 years of his life moving in and out of small native villages and small wilderness towns, learning to survive the best way that he knew how growing up alone in the wilds of Canada’s rugged Yukon Territories and Northwest Alaska.

As a teenager, he once lived n a small 220 SF cabin which is still there today at KM 540 off the Alaskan Highway.

At seven, Phil received an acoustic guitar as a gift and since then has composed over 400 songs, including many well knows hits, most of which were sold to record labels during the early 90’s.

At 14, Phil quit school and hitchhiked to Bristol Bay to begin a career working as a deck hand on fishing boats off the coast of Alaska. The work was hard and often times lasted 14 hours per day in sub below temperatures further riddled by hard seas. By 16, Phil had earned his way into the position of first mate on some of Bristol Bay’s most successful crabbing crews, long before this career was dramatized by Discovery channel’s “Deadly Catch”.

Phil is known throughout the Northwest Territories and Yukon as “little white bear”, a name given to him by his adopted native family and while Phil is not native, he is respected by many natives throughout the Canada’s and Alaska and is well known.

At the age of 23, Phil moved out of the wilderness and settled in Portland, Oregon where he became self employed as a Private Investigator and part time songwriter. He also discovered .com and started the world’s first web design firm.

Losing everything years later in the market crash, Phil moved to Seattle and threw himself into his music selling many of his songs to top bands of the 90’s and recording his first album “Wounded soul” which was never released in the United States but still managed to sell almost 1.3 million copies world-wide in Asia, India, and South America.

Phil’s life was riddled with trials and tribulations of all kinds but that seemed to change in the spring of 2001 when Phil met a beautiful young woman from Bellevue, Washington who brought him to Christ in November of 2001. Since then his life has changed in so many ways.

Phil currently attends New Hope International Church in Mercer Island, and also serves on the Amazing Grace Ministries which is a small ministry that reaches out to the homeless in downtown Seattle and meets once a week on Friday’s.

Phil also leads worship at New Hope International Church on Mercer Island which is an international church dedicated to building discipleship and leadership.

In November of 2003 Phil was married, and today he lives in Kirkland, Washington with his wife Jamael and their four year old son James and his two year old son Tristan and their newborn daughter Patricia.

Still not accepted by the religious status quo music system in the United States, Phil chooses to concentrate his music ministry overseas where his fan base is large and they desperately need the word. Phil’s ministry is performing concerts, and spreading the word of God in a rock style format to places of the globe where no one goes such as the Middle East.

While the concerts are rock style and loud, many times the show’s end in worship and prayer for people that have never heard the word before.

Phil just completed “New Believer” in the summer of 2009 which is a ballad of songs he specifically wrote for overseas listeners about the trials and tribulations of being a son of light in the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
