Save  This  Date for Soberstock 2009 July 18th On Saturday, July 12th, 2008,  EDI, Inc. hosted the 11th annual Soberstock music festival...a daylong celebration of substance-free living filled with music, fun, food and fellowship. The well over 1,500 people who attended Soberstock appeared to thoroughly enjoy the great music of five local bands. For the second consecutive year, the sun made an uninterrupted appearance and we were blessed with magnificent weather for the day! The entertainment at Soberstock 2008 was awesome! Each of the bands delivered a fabulous display of talent all their own, proving once again that Recovery Rocks! Many thanks to The Mountain Folk Band, The Little Ragu Band, Vertigo Vibe, The Dave Mell Band and The John King Dance Band. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors and supporters including Sovereign Bank, Caron Treatment Centers , The Council on Chemical Abuse and Gaudenzia, we were able to make admission to Soberstock 2008 and numerous activities free of charge . In addition, we were able to offer free bus service from Reading and back throughout the day complements of Berks Career and Technology Center . Those of us in recovery know that we live life one day at a time free from the bondage of addiction by the grace of a power greater than ourselves. Soberstock is meant to be a celebration of this freedom and grace. Our goal is to keep Soberstock a free event so that all individuals and families can attend and enjoy this special event for many years to come. ~Dave Reyher , Executive Director~

Old News....Past Events...etc.

WMGK House Band Competition...not this year :(
	While we had as good a chance as any band to be in the running, it just wasn't in the cards for the Vibe and the WMGK House Band Competition this year. But, we still rock! There's always next year.  For more information, go to WMGK

Muhlenberg Community Days...2008
	We were back to kick off this year's annual Muhlenberg Community Days festivities on Wednesday, July 23, 2008. It's a good thing we were under the Big Top, cause it rained cats & dogs!!. We got only 1 set in; but still gave 110% of our classic rock & roll entertainment!

Vertigo Vibe was on hand for Soberstock, 2008: JULY 12, taking the stage at 3:50 pm.  In its 11th year, Soberstock continues to realize its original vision of being a day-long celebration of substance-free living filled with music, fun, food & fellowship.

Kempton Country Fair....we did it! Vertigo Vibe was at the 54th Annual Kempton Country Fair on June  13, 2008. This was a real country fair! Next year, we plan to enter the tractor pull using Bryan's Hyundai SUV....look out!

What's the buzz? Glad you asked.....
	When Vertigo Vibe was just getting started, one of our highlights was being the first band to be booked at and open the Ritz on Main nightclub. That was 2003. We played there 3 times that year, including New Years eve....what a blast! Now, it's 2008....we've got a whole new line-up...we're playing over 60 gigs a year in 5 different counties....and we're back at the Ritz!

The Vibe adds new Lead guitar player...and welcomes Bryan Hall Since the sudden departure of Brian Evola, who moved to South Carolina on February 20, Vertigo Vibe has actively been seeking his replacement....a difficult task at best. After an internet search and advertising campaign, we had the good fortune to locate Bryan Hall. Bryan has extensive band and touring excpeience. Originally from Nashville, Bryan has relocated near the West Chester area. This will be a happy blending of great playing and great chemistry (strictly in the spiritual sense). We will be introducing Bryan this weekend, March 7 & 8...the rest will be history!

The Vibe was on BCTV for the 2008 Telethon...
	Did you see us on February 23, 2008, on the annual BCTV Telethon fundraiser, held at The Riveredge?. Thank you for your support and for supporting our local BCTV with your donation.

Wintertime...and the livin' is easy...

It's official....

Two of the Beatniks (Rick Schmehl, bass, and Pete Beck, drums) will merge with three of the Vertigo Vibe guys (Brian Evola, guitar, Mark Johnson, vocals and Randy Stout, guitar)...effective January 1, 2008, to form a new version of the Vibe. This merger will bring with it a wide variety of new music for both bands as well as some new opportunities. During the transition, we will maintain the name, Vertigo Vibe. You might consider us the Beatnik Vibe....or Beatigo Vibe....or the Vertigo Cowboys; but anyway you cut it, we will still rock your world...and we still have the vibe!!!

There's something happening here....what it is ain't exactly clear...
	Introducing... a new acoustic rock alternative for smaller venues and more intimate clubs! Click here for a peek.

We welcomed Bruce Kissinger to the Vibe stage!

Bruce Kissinger was on hand to help the Vibe out on drums for the remainder of 2007... Bruce started playing drums at an early age, and by age 16, started playing with a full band in local clubs and bars. During his time in the Navy, Bruce played in USO shows thoughout Europe and with several bands while in the Mediterranean. After 30 years of "bangin' the skinz", he is now a major force on the local scene, having played with such bands as Freestyle, Miss T and the Mosquitoes, and Sonic. He is currently keeping it tight and funky with Blue Light Special and is lovin' every minute of it. He has graciously agreed to "fill in" during December for the remaining 2007 Vibe gigs.
