Woody Phillips is a novelty artist who performs well-known holiday songs and classical pieces on common hand tools. After his training at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, he worked as a cellist and arranger of early American folk music. In 1998, he released his saw-, power drill-, and hammer-orchestrated versions of Christmas standards on A Toolbox Christmas, and followed in 2000 with his personalized ode to composers of the 18th and 19th centuries; Toolbox Classics. ~ Zac Johnson
