Broadway Phil & the Shouters Bring the Blues to Myrtle Creek Tonight
Broadway Phil & the Shouters bring more than three decades of blues, R&B and roots rock to Millsite Park tonight for the second-to-last concert of Myrtle Creek’s 39th Music in the Park season.
MYRTLE CREEK, Ore. - Myrtle Creek’s Music in the Park is nearing the end of its 39th season, with Broadway Phil & the Shouters taking the stage Thursday night for the second-to-last concert of the summer.
The free concert begins at 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 20, at Millsite Park and is scheduled to run until 8:30 p.m.
Broadway Phil & the Shouters have been part of the Southern Oregon music scene for more than three decades, with singer and harmonica player Phil Newton leading a sound built around blues, rhythm and blues and roots rock.
The group has been performing at concerts, clubs and festivals since 1994, drawing influences from West Coast blues, R&B, Tex-Mex and roots rock. Their music also pulls from the soul and R&B sounds of the 1950s and 1960s, with Newton’s harmonica playing a central part of the band’s sound.
Over the years, Broadway Phil & the Shouters have performed at venues and festivals throughout Oregon and Northern California and have shared stages with musicians and groups including Huey Lewis & The News, Elvin Bishop, Dave Mason, Robben Ford, Curtis Salgado and Roomful of Blues.
The band is also no stranger to Myrtle Creek. Broadway Phil & the Shouters have appeared during previous Music in the Park seasons, including performances in 2019 and 2024.
Thursday’s performance is sponsored by Grocery Outlet/Myrtle Creek.
Music in the Park is presented by the Myrtle Creek-Tri City Area Chamber of Commerce and is supported through donations, grants and gifts. This year marks the 39th season of the long-running free summer concert series.
Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets. Food is expected to be available from vendors at the park and nearby businesses, and dogs are welcome as long as they are kept under control and owners clean up after them.
After Thursday night, only one concert remains on the 2026 schedule.
The season will close Thursday, Aug. 27, with Eugene’s Moon Mountain String Band & Instrument Petting Zoo. The seven-piece group blends traditional bluegrass with a modern newgrass sound, and the evening will also feature an interactive instrument petting zoo.
Admission and parking for Music in the Park are free.
