Vertical Horizon stands for a commitment to superior music. It's a concept that has always meant a steadfast striving for the artistically-creative high road. Consistently at the wheel, founder, writer, lead singer and guitarist, Matt Scannell drives and unites the group, always exploring new territories of inspiration. Founded in the early 1990s as a duo, Vertical Horizon released three albums independently (There and Back Again, Running on Ice, and Live Stages) and toured extensively. In 1999, Vertical Horizon signed with RCA and experienced meteoric success with Everything You Want, selling over two million copies. The title song captured the #1 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 and Adult Top 40 charts, and went on to become the most played single of 2000. Having carved out a page in the annals of music history, the band also garnered further radio attention with "You're a God" (#4 on Billboard's Adult Chart) and "Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)," which became a 2005 top 20 country hit for country star, Gary Allan.
For Great White to continue to thrive 40 years in the music business, the mantra must be, these songs are bigger than any one member. GRAMMY nominated hard rock legends, Great White, are adding onto that line with the saying: expect the unexpected. It’s rock and roll, baby. The peaks and the valleys haven’t stopped– nor has the music. Great White’s ride runs deep and its passion for the music goes beyond any depth. To experience their hits live in concert – “Rock Me,” “Mista Bone,” “Save Your Love,” “House of Broken Love,” and “Lady Red Light”—is to ride an emotional wave of sultry connections, arousing lyrics, and an all-out marathon of hard-hitting orchestrations. Audiences might also hear tracks like “Stick It”, “The Angel Song”, “Big Time” or one of the many deep cuts from Great White’s 13 studio albums.
1990 SLAUGHTER hit radio, MTV and the U.S. touring circuit like a tornado- coming seemingly out of nowhere to roll through everything in its path and turn it upside down. Touring the world with bands that they loved, Kiss, Ozzy, and others meant the good times were just a song away, and their first hit single, “Up All Night” certainly fit into that mold, their second chart-topper, “Fly To The Angels” was more representative of the spirituality and awareness that goes into most of the band’s music and lyrics. But never were SLAUGHTER more accurately represented that live onstage in front of their legions of devoted fans over the last ten years! SLAUGHTER has shown that with perseverance and sheer talent, a band can survive and win over the support of fans, regardless of what others may say about the quality of their music. What’s most important is that their music is still here and the vast majority of critics who panned them in the past are not, and that’s as good as gold.

Freakshow's debut album was a supergroup featuring Miss Crazy's Ronnie Borchert, Cinderella’s Jeff Lebar, Quiet Riot’s Frankie Banali, & Tony Franklin (The Firm, Paul Rodgers, and Whitesnake). Freakshow founder Ronnie Borchert stormed the rock scene in 2005 as front man for the San Francisco based "Miss Crazy". He also fronted the melodic rock/glam bands Amsterdam, and Trixie. Ronnies vocals have been likened to Tom Keifer, Joe Elliot, Steve Whitman, & Brian Johnson. Freakshow recorded multiple records with the original lineup who added Cinderella's Jeff LeBar to the fold. This lineup would carve a place in rock history touring relentlessly supporting three albums 2005-2008.
Fast forward to 2023. Different players, yet another amazing lineup who created a hook filled, blazing rock ‘n’ roll album "So Shall It Be". With this current album, Ronny Bouchert brings together - Carlos Cavazo (Quiet Riot) on guitar/vox. Carlos is a virtuoso in his field, well respected by fans and peers worldwide. - Greg Chaisson (Badlands, Jake E Lee) on bass/vox. Greg has always been a master of his craft.
