Phillips wrote Blue Shadows nearly two decades ago for a Billy Cowsill memorial concert at Knox United Church. The songwriter died in 2006 after spending years in Vancouver and Calgary's music scenes.
Blue Shadows was the name of the Vancouver alt-county band Cowsill led in the mid-1990s.
Before that, he was the vocalist for the Cowsills, a family band that scaled the charts in the 1960s and '70s and was the inspiration for The Partridge Family television series.
