    Phil Vassar's Songs from the Cellar

    In 2015, Phil completed his underground wine cellar at his 1929-built Nashville estate. Filled with cocktail favorites, candles and, what else, a piano, the cellar quickly became his favorite place to write, play and hang out with friends. The environment inspired his idea to create a series with his talented friends. Songs from the Cellar was born! SFTC will feature artists, songwriters, entertainers, athletes, comedians and wine enthusiasts will be guests on the show. Each episode will spotlight conversations and collaboration alongside a shared drink (water, coffee, wine, whatever!). Season One guests include Charles Esten, Jessie James Decker, Tommy Shaw, Steve Cropper, Mike Tyson, John Rich, Peter Frampton, Cam and Hunter Hayes. Season Two includes Dennis Quaid, Vince Gill, Brothers Osbourne, Jo Dee Messina, Chingy, Larry Gatlin, Craig Wiseman, Gavin Degraw, Kix Brooks, Kellie Pickler, and many more.

    Cam - No Rocking Chair Regrets

    Cam - No Rocking Chair Regrets

    Phil shares with Cam how he will always remember the first time he heard “Burning House” on the radio and how refreshing it was to have a song like that released among the other popular country music of the time. Cam discusses her California roots and how “small-world”-interconnected her team is. She talks about balancing her rapid ascent to success with her personal life, all while maintaining her naturally bubbly personality. She shares her musical influences that she gained while spending time on her grandparent’s ranch growing up. Cam talks about the aim of not solely being “commercial” while working with a record label (plus discusses the multiple forms of support they provide artists). She talks about how social media, streaming, award shows, and people’s musical tastes in general have allowed her to connect with a wider group of fans, as the consumers are less and less concerned about “genre” when finding new music.
