To say that Phillip-Michael Scales was born with music in his blood would be an understatement. As the nephew of the legendary B.B. King, Scales grew up on a healthy dose of motown, soul and of course the blues. But as he evolved and later attended Berklee College of Music, so did his taste in music, skewing more towards indie rock. Today the rising musician releases EP Sinner Songwriter, a tenacious collection of heartfelt ballads, gritty rock anthems and of course a few blues numbers. Listen to lead single “Lover, Let Me Be” and check out Scale’s top Chicago picks below.
