Phil Vassar: I did it my way
Phil Vassar isn’t new to writing foot-tapping, heart-pumping songs that inspire and get you thinking. He’s penned No. 1 hits like, “Just Another Day in Paradise” and “In a Real Love,” and his current single, “Everywhere I Go,” is climbing the charts. His latest release, “Traveling Circus,” not only expands his role as a motivator, romancer and jokester, but highlights him as a leader. “I’m in a great place,” Vassar told Country Music Pride. “I realize where I am, and I get it.”
“Traveling Circus,” which Vassar self-produced and released earlier this month, debuted on Billboard’s Top Country Album chart at 29 last week, and features its first single, “Bobbi with an I.” CMP chats with Vassar about the new album, writing for his first musical and what he likes to sing in the shower.
