Philippe Bronchtein

As a side man and solo artist, Philippe Bronchtein has logged several hundred thousand miles on the road, crossing and recrossing the US and the Atlantic. In a few short years, he quickly became one of Portland's most well-loved, consummate road-warriors, cherished by fans of songcraft, other songwriters, and the bandleaders who, over and over, invited him to join them on tour. Before the age of thirty, he'd released three LPs, numerous splits, 7"s EPs, and singles under the moniker Hip Hatchet and toured as a multi-instrumentalist for the likes of Esme Patterson, The War & Treaty, Quiet Life, and others.
