Country
music star Phil Vassar set
to rock the Stanislaus
County Fair!
Turlock—When
do audiences love Phil Vassar? When he’s writing,
when he’s singing, when he’s making them dance and
scream for more.
Phil
Vassar, the 2002 American Country Music Award Winner
for New Male Vocalist, will perform on the Budweiser
Variety Stage on Saturday, July 26, at 8:30
p.m. All concerts on this stage are included with
the price of fair admission.
“The
Phil Vassar concert is another one of the many
highlights of the 2003 fair,” said Pennie Rorex,
Stanislaus County Fair spokesperson. “It will be a
night of unforgettable country music.”
Vassar’s
hit compositions include Alan Jackson’s “Right on
the Money,” Tim McGraw’s “Next 30 Years” and
Collin Raye’s “Little Red Rodeo,” among others.
He wrote these hits while running his Nashville
club-restaurant and performing on the weekends.
Vassar’s
first album, “Another Day in Paradise,” exploded
on the charts with hits like “Carlene,” “Six
Pack Summer” and “That’s When I Love You.”
Vassar’s inspiration comes from famous
singer-songwriters Billy Joel and Willie Nelson.
Phil
Vassar’s new album, American Child, is full of the
touching honesty that marks all of Vassar’s hits so
it should be no surprise that the title track is
already making its way through the charts and the
hearts of fans.
