Phil Vassar is as driven today as he was when he first left his
Lynchburg, Virginia home to pursue – and realize – his dream of
making his mark in entertainment. A career that has seen the release
of eight albums, two ASCAP Songwriter of the Year trophies, Billboard
Country Songwriter of the Year, countless hits as a singer and
songwriter and a mantle full of awards and the launch of his own
Rodeowave Entertainment label continues to expand and evolve. As a
singer/songwriter, Phil has hit the Top 5 seven times with songs like
“Carlene,” “Last Day of My Life” and “American Child” and
topped the charts with “In A Real Love” and the perennial favorite
“Just Another Day in Paradise.” Known as one of Nashville’s top
tunesmiths, his songs other artists have taken to #1 include “My
Next Thirty Years” by Tim McGraw, “She’s Right On The Money”
by Alan Jackson, and Jo Dee Messina’s “Bye, Bye” and “I’m
Alright.” New artist David Nail had a hit with Phil’s “The Sound
of a Million Dreams,” which Billboard named the #1 song in their Top
10 Country Songs of 2012. His critically-acclaimed holiday release
Noel included five original and five classic songs and a slight dose
of irreverence. Sandwiched between “Away in a Manger” and
“I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” “Santa’s Gone Hollywood” is
an equal opportunity offender for everything good and pure about jolly
ole St. Nick. He supported the album with a Christmas tour, which he
plans to make an annual event. When not on the road performing for
adoring fans or at home taking care of the business that surrounds
Phil Vassar, he can be found picking up his two daughters from school
and spending the afternoon just being “Dad.” His heart for
children extends well beyond his immediate family, and 2013 marks the
sixth year he has performed a benefit concert for The Miller Home for
girls in his hometown. He has been a featured artist on Charlie
Daniels’ annual Christmas 4 Kids concert, and he regularly lends his
time, talent and name to organizations like St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital, Monroe Carell, Jr. Children’s Hospital at
Vanderbilt, Second Harvest Food Bank and more. Phil Vassar is an
artist who has endured his share of ups and downs in life and the
“biz,” and one who is not only riding a diverse wave of success
but sharing it with others. “I’m not going out there to try and
change the world, but for me, this is my thing, this is my little
world that I can control now, and I’m really excited about this
journey, getting new music out to the fans and working on other
avenues to entertain people. For me that’s what it’s all about.”
