Phase V came about when a few childhood buddies from Wheaton, IL started an impromptu jam session at the after party of their high school reunion in 2019. The sound was infectious...but unfortunately, so was COVID. So this little, acoustic group turned quarantine into music by playing outdoor gigs and building a modest following. Tara Schreiner (vocals), Al Backhaus (vocals and percussion), Bill Maliff (guitar), and Pat Schreiner (bass) play a variety of unexpected covers and are clearly having a good time along the way.
