Country Star Phil Vassar brings his #noPHILter Tour to The Ridgefield Playhouse on February 12

Phil Vassar made his mark in country music earning two ASCAP Songwriter of the Year awards for his countless hits as a singer/songwriter. Phil Vassar returns to The Ridgefield Playhouse with his #noPHILter tour! Mountain Dew Country Series and Doyle Coffin Architecture Singer Songwriter Series presents Vassar’s piano-based country music on Friday, February 12 at 8:00 p.m. when he performs new material from his forthcoming album as well as well as his reign of hits, including "Carlene," "Just Another Day in Paradise," "Six-Pack Summer," "That's When I Love You" and many more.

Kicking off the night is the “country girl from New York” and a Ridgefield Playhouse Emerging Artist, Jessica Lynn. She’s hailed as “Country Music’s fastest rising star” and “Shania’s successor.” Jessica can currently be seen on PBS television stations nationwide in her two full length concert specials, “Jessica Lynn – This Much Fun,” and “Jessica Lynn – Takin’ Over – Live at The Paramount.” Before the show, visit Ancient Mariner (451 Main St., Ridgefield) and enjoy a free glass of house wine or draft beer with dinner when tickets are presented. Media sponsor for this event is 105.5fm KICKS Today’s Best Country.

Phil Vassar’s career 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.

Vassar continues to churn out incisive, soulful lyrics and infectious melodies that capture the heart and soul in the unique and special way that only he can. For Vassar, his philosophy about songs has never changed during his time spent writing hits for himself and other artists, it’s important for a song to carry a message and make the listener feel something. 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.”
