we'll be doing some special events
(like the BCTV Telethon, Temple Fireman's carnival, some outdoor summer events, Mike's Annual Pig Roast and some birthday parties)....

We entered the WMGK Battle of the Bands again for 2009...and this year, it happened !!??!! We made the cut and were one of the 16 band finalists.We played at the Philadelphia Park Casino - Circle Bar - on August 20 for our qualifying event. And, while we didn't win, we came out looking good and made an impression!
Our congratulations to the winner of the evening, Pawn Shop Roses!
These kids rock! It's nice to know there are young bands out there willing to carry the torch for our classic rock music!!

We have filled the drum throne in June with John Feeser, a Lancaster musician who once was in a touring band,
Sweet Pain, and worked with some well-know artists, including Leon Russell.
We also firmed up the lead guitar position in July with Todd Althouse, a well known musician in the Reading area,
and, for the past 6 years, the guitar player with the John King Dance Band.
The last piece of our puzzle was the bassman position. Bobby Fry, a well-known musician and sideman from the Lancaster area
who played with Screamin' Daisies, the Kenny Wayne Morris Band and Rob Hughes and the Heaters, will join Vertigo Vibe starting December, 2009.

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!

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.
