About Phil Vassar
Phil Vassar is a Virginia-born singer, songwriter and pianist who built his name in Nashville as a writer before his own records took off. His songs for other artists include 'For a Little While' for Tim McGraw, 'Bye Bye' and 'I'm Alright' for Jo Dee Messina, and 'Little Red Rodeo' for Collin Raye.
Signed to Arista Nashville, he released a self-titled debut in 1999 that produced 'Carlene' and the number one 'Just Another Day in Paradise.' 'In a Real Love' later gave him another chart-topper. On stage the show is built around the piano rather than guitars, with Vassar playing it standing up, an uncommon setup in mainstream country.
