Darwin "Big Daddy" Phillips
The Acelerators have played thruout Southern New England for many years now and gained a reputation as a hard hitting Vocal and Musical group, the Music is real straight out of the 60s and 70s from Motown to the halls of Rock, Big Daddy's Vocal style is not a copy, He was on the circut playing in all of the Blues/R&B/and Rock venues at the same time many of the Greats were, since the late 50s and to date he's still bringing the rich melodies of a bygone era to new ears, for nearly fifteen years the Accelerators have undergone many changes in personell but strong devotion to the sound of the 60s and 70s has always been primary and inflexible.
