PHABIES is an art-centric group of musicians who embrace the spirit and culture of the DIY scene. Their lyric-focused music is a blend of 60's-era folk and genre-blending pop, alternative, and indie. Formed as a solo project by Laura Hobson, the band leveled up with the additions of Kevin Burrows, Joshua Holicki, Max McKinnon, and Garrett Stier. 
 In February of 2022, PHABIES released a fever dream induced, Valentine’s Day inspired Dogtown Studio Session for their song “Crazy to Love You” with guest vocalist Julia LeRoy. Since then, they haven’t looked back. “Phabies has carved out a unique, artistic and entertaining niche in West Michigan, releasing EPs and singles over the past few years, with their full-length debut album, ‘Fire Seed’” (John Sinkevics, Local Spins). Laura’s voice, "both lyrical and literal, is the shining star of Phabies’ sky of sounds, celestial yet terrestrial, rising from the earth and the core of her being so beautifully on the album’s dense title track centerpiece, and the songs surrounding it. A phenomenal listen for anyone with a burning deep inside" (Eric Mitts, Revue Mag). 
 Hobson’s versatile songwriting allows for a variety of performance experiences. Whether alone on a cathedral stage or together in a dimly lit club with the 5-piece band, PHABIES is able to chameleon itself into just about any setting: gardens, greenhouses, a planetarium, a dam, a 50 foot tall boardwalk, an abandoned theater and more!
