Like Blues Traveler Dave Matthews Band and Hootie & the Blowfish Vertical Horizon s dedication to the road has elevated them from a small-town band to a national act. In 92 the band (founded by Matt Scannell & Keith Kane) released their debut CD There And Back Again and took to the road non-stop building it s following with a mix of crisp vocals and understated harmonies. The band s 3rd album (released in 97) was recorded over 2 sold-out nights at Ziggy s in Winston-Salem NC.
