A cool acoustic evening is planned for country music fans. And local sports fans, too! The Tucker Entertainment Group presents the Phil Vassar Acoustic Show, Friday, May 8, at the Dennison Theater on the University of Montana campus.

You know Phil Vassar from hits like Just Another Day in Paradise, 6-Pack Summer, Carlene, American Child, I'll Take That as a Yes (you know, the hot tub and the bear rug thing) and hits he's written for other artists, including Tim McGraw (My Next 30 Years) and Colin Raye (Little Red Rodeo).

This concert is a fundraiser for the Missoula Sports Commission, which, among other projects, works to bring sporting events to Missoula---such as high school basketball tournaments---as a means of generating dollars for the local economy.

Tickets are on sale now. Individual tickets are available at the Griztix outlets as well as online at griztix.com.  There are also 10-seat VIP packages available, which include tickets in the first few rows and a pre-party with hors d'oeuvres in the Adams Center Skybox. VIP packages available through Tucker Entertainment at 406-544-8333 or at tuckerentertainmentevents@gmail.com.

Phil Vassar is a heck of an entertainer and a terrific piano player. I have to believe he'll knock it out of the park with an acoustic show! Check it out, country fans.
