At 7:30 PM on Saturday, May 4, The Flying Monkey is excited to present country music’s leading piano man, Phil Vassar. Known as one of Nashville’s most talented songwriters, Phil has a storied career with eight albums, numerous awards, and a slew of hit songs. Tickets for this concert start at $49.

Phil Vassar is as driven today as he was when he first left his Lynchburg, Virginia home to pursue and realize his dream of making his mark in country music. Known as one of Nashville’s top tunesmiths, Phil was racking up hits on the radio long before he even began his own recording career. My Next Thirty Years, For a Little While (both recorded by Tim McGraw), She’s Right on the Money (Alan Jackson), and I’m All Right (Jo Dee Messina) are just a few of the songs he’s penned that other artists have recorded and taken to the top of the charts.

Some of Phil’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 ACM Top New Male Vocalist of the Year and Song of the Year – just to name a few.

With his self‐titled artist debut on Arista/Nashville, Phil took his seat as country’s leading piano man with the success of songs like Carlene, Just Another Day in Paradise, and Six‐Pack Summer. Since then he’s continued to prove his worth time and again with releases like American Child, That’s When I love You, In A Real Love, I’ll Take That as a Yes (The Hot Tub Song), Last Day of My Life, and Love is a Beautiful Thing.

Now, with eight albums under his belt, all held to much acclaim, Phil is ready for the next journey in his musical career. No stranger to hard work and with a strong business mind on his shoulders, Phil’s taking control by launching Rodeowave Entertainment, a full‐service record label/promotions/ management company based in Nashville. His latest single, Love Is Alive, is proving to be one of his fastest-rising hits to date, earning it a “Hot Shot Debut” designation in Billboard Magazine.

“We are excited to present another big country show in our intimate venue,” says Seth McNally, Entertainment Director at The Flying Monkey. “After the success of our last few country shows, Monkey fans have been asking for more … and they will get one of the best shows out there with Phil.”

Tickets for this Saturday’s Phil Vassar concert are on sale now for $49, and $59 for Premier seats. For tickets and more information on concerts and the Flying Monkey Performance Center, visit FlyingMonkeyNH.com or call 536-2551.
