from cjonline.com The closing day’s headliner, Phil Vassar, will be making his fifth Country Stampede appearance when he takes the stage at 8:30 p.m. Vassar is gearing up for the release of his fifth studio album, “Phil Vassar and the Smokin’ Ivories,” due in August. The first single, “Bobbi With An I,” a funny song about a weight-lifting tow truck driver who dresses up in drag to get free drinks at a bar’s ladies night, was just released to radio, accompanied by a laugh-inducing video. Known not only for his knack for hit songwriting, but for his compelling and highly entertaining skills on the piano, Vassar has achieved a long list of Top 20 hits on country radio, including nine No. 1 songs. Vassar’s accolades include two-time ASCAP Songwriter of the Year, Billboard Magazine Top New Country Artist, Billboard Country Songwriter of the Year, Music Row Magazine Breakthrough Artist of the Year and the Academy of Country Music Top New Male Vocalist of the Year. The Big 94.5 Country midday host Stephanie Lynn said: “If you haven't seen a Phil Vassar show, go just to see him play the piano. His shows are very entertaining.” |

from the Greeley Tribune In a muddy venue that resembled Woodstock more than a country music concert, Phil Vassar played a show packed with high-energy rockers and lighter love songs on Thursday night at Stampede Arena to kick off the Greeley Stampede's 2009 concert series. As Vassar sang, standing at times on a grand piano, the audience didn't seem bothered by a rain-induced, 40-minute delay to the beginning of the concert. With Ferris wheel lights in the background, Vassar and his band performed a tribute to Michael Jackson with a quick rendition of “Billie Jean.” » Time the band took the stage: 8:40 p.m. » Opening songs: “That's When I Love You,” “I'm Alright,” “Love Is A Beautiful Thing,” “In A Real Love.” » Good seats: “You couldn't pay me enough to be down there, even if it wasn't raining.” — Jean Hoshiko, speaking of the people standing in the mud on the ground. Hoshiko, who along with her husband was Grand Marshal of the Stampede in 1995, sat near the front row in the center of the stands. » Nosebleeds: “I'm much more comfortable than they are.” — Goldie Augustmoon, speaking of the people standing in the mud on the ground. Augustmoon sat in the final row of the bleachers. » In the mud: “I've seen him before at the civic center, and it's even better out here.” — Ryan Unverzagt, who watched Vassar from the arena's muddy ground. » Vassar to fans, during “I'm Alright”: “Are you doing all right at the Greeley Stampede tonight?” |
