Following the cancellation of this year’s CMA Music Festival, Vassar did not want to miss the chance to connect with fans and announced a virtual fan club party using new technology from Single Music.While millions are self-isolating in their homes, Vassar aims to lift spirits while keeping the tradition of his annual fan club party alive. This year marks the 20th fan club party hosted by the multi platinum singer-songwriter. Just like his fan club parties in the past, fans will have a chance to ask Vassar questions and see him perform his fan-favorite hits including “Carlene,” “Just Another Day in Paradise,” “Bye Bye” and more. 

“Since we could not get together in person this year, I thought a virtual fan club party was the next best thing! I’m thrilled to still be able to connect with my fans and have some fun singing and chatting, “ said Vassar. 

Single Music’s player is HTML-5 and allows fans to watch from their mobile phones, computers, and cast/share the stream to their TVs over Apple TV or Chromecast for an even better viewing and listening experience. The concert is streamed in a branded environment very similar to the look and feel of a live Phil Vassar concert. Viewers can chat with other fans, view merchandise, and buy music during the show just like they would normally do at an in-person concert.  
 
“While we all wish we could be together in person, it’s exciting to be using new technology that gets us even closer to the live concert feel,” said Vassar.
 
Fans can also watch Vassar perform live on Fox Nation and streamed on Fox News Digital and all Fox News social media platforms Friday May 8 at 8 p.m. EST for a virtual concert series.
