PHIL VASSAR - 25 Years of Paradise
with Opener - Steven Lemon
Phil Vassar’s life has always been steeped in music. Raised in a home where his father sang and his two sisters spun everything from Motown to West Coast harmonies, his upbringing was a constant melody. The gospel and bluegrass influence of Lynchburg’s unique geography further shaped his sound, while artists like Bruce Hornsby, the Statler Brothers, Billy Joel, Elton John, and Lionel Richie sculpted his melodic sensibilities. A true fan of rock legends like Queen, Boston, and David Bowie, Vassar’s eclectic roots would lay the foundation for his remarkable career.
Though he started on guitar, Vassar soon found his true voice at the piano. His deep connection to piano-driven storytelling and intricate melodies was immediate, despite lacking classical training. With tireless practice and an undeniable songwriting gift, he crafted a sound that blended heartfelt lyrics with irresistible hooks — appealing to fans across various genres.
Now, celebrating the 25th anniversary of his breakout hit “Just Another Day in Paradise,” the piano-pounding powerhouse is embarking on his “25 Years of Paradise” Tour. This celebration of his impact on country music promises to energize audiences from coast to coast.

Over 25 years, Vassar has racked up chart-topping hits and numerous accolades, including performances in Europe, Australia, and the White House, as well as memorable moments with country legends like Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. But it’s the connection he builds with fans through live performances that remains the heart of his career. “When I go on stage, the world fades away, and it’s just about having fun and connecting with the fans,” he shares....
