Voted “Top New Male Vocalist” at the 37th Academy of Country Music Awards, Phil Vasser has combined cut-to-the-heart songwriting with a solo performance charisma that dazzles fans and critics alike. As a singer, songwriter and performer, Vassar is artistically a triple-threat. He first exploded up the charts and out of America’s radios with his self-titled 2000 Arista Nashville debut. That CD yielded the #1 single “Just Another Day in Paradise,” as well as the Top Ten hits “Carlene,” “Rose Bouquet,” “Six-Pack Summer” and “That’s When I Love You.”
Vasser has shared stages with the biggest names in country music including, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Kenny Chesney and Jo Dee Messina. Vassar is a complete artist whose performance rings true in every setting. He draws artistic inspiration from his store of current and past experiences. His own personal influences run the gamut of country, pop and folk, but regardless of genre, they all share one commonality: honesty.

Stephen Cochran

Stephen Cochran’s life on his way to his fiery debut release is about as real as it gets. Always a patriotic family, the Cochrans, like a lot of Americans, were forever changed by the traumatic events of 9/11. The music would have to wait. Stephen Cochran knew what he had to do.
“The way I was raised was to be very thankful to this country for being able to do our dream, which is music,” Cochran says. “So to stand up and defend it? That’s our honor.”
Cochran joined the Marines’ light armored reconnaissance division and headed straight to Iraq. He returned safely, but wasn’t so lucky on his next overseas tour – to Afghanistan. After losing a good friend to enemy fire, Cochran returned home with a broken back. He was paralyzed for eight months. After recovery, he had a newfound determination to make his country music dream come true.
“I love the Marine Corps,” Cochran says. “Everything they did for me structured my life and gave me the drive to know that I can do anything I want to do.”
