Vassar is no. 1 at Joe’s

Country Music Concert Alert: [singlepic id=114 w=320 h=240 float=left]

He may have had the last album of 2009 but he’ll be the first, in Chicago, in 2010. Country music’s “Piano Man” a.k.a. Phil Vassar will take the stage tomorrow night at Joe’s Bar for an exclusive performance presented by Joe’s and US99 Radio. The first US99 Live Country concert of 2010.

It’s not uncommon to find Vassar playing some of the suburban theatres but it will be an extra special treat to pack him into Joe’s Bar. The question is what type of piano will we find accompanying Phil.

Over the years, Vassar has produced mega hits for some of country music finest including Tim McGraw, Jo Dee Messina and Alan Jackson. Since 2000, when Vassar signed on with Arista Records, he’s been penning hits for himself including chart-toppers “Carlene”, “Just Another Day In Paradise” and “Six-Pack Summer”. Today, and several albums later, Vassar is just off the release of his sixth studio album titled “Traveling Circus”, which was released with Universal South.

If I had to pick one word for to describe Vassar’s music, I would say consistent. While some could use consistent in a negative tone, I think for Vassar it means something totally different. His style, songs and of course, his pianos have consistently graced country music over the over the past several years. It’s easy to see this “consistency” in his latest album, “Traveling Circus”, with his future hits like, “Everywhere I Go”, “Where Have All The Pianos Gone” and “I Will Remember You,” a song he co-wrote with Kenny Chesney.

Don’t have tickets to tomorrow night’s concert, don’t fret. Vassar is playing the Peoria Civic Center on Jan. 14 as well as a string of nights in Milwaukee starting Jan. 18. Tickets and additional information can be found on Ticketmaster.com. Just noticed Vassar will be headed back to Joe’s for a 2-night stay in April. Find your tickets to see Phil now as these shows will sell out faster than you can say Vassar.
