and Six-Pack Summer. Since then, Vassar continues to prove his talents as an
acclaimed artist 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.

Vassar’s resume boasts numerous hits for artists, including Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw,
Jo Dee Messina, and Collin Raye, among others. He’s been named the ASCAP
Songwriter of the Year twice, and has taken top honors from the Academy of Country
Music, Billboard MusicRow, and was also honored by the CMA’s.

Now with six acclaimed albums to his credit, Vassar has launched Rodeowave
