Vertical Horizon’s Matt Scannell on Richard Marx, Rush, Neil Peart, Daniel Powter and stopping touring
Matt Scannell is best known as the lead singer and songwriter for Vertical Horizon, the modern pop band who gave us such hits as ”Everything You Want,” “Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)” and “I’m Still Here.” But as we discovered when we talked to him at ASCAP’s Music Café at the Sundance Film Festival, Scannell’s got a lot more going on.

Matt will be performing solo acoustic at Borders at the Northridge Mall in Northridge, CA on February 20, 2010 at 7:00PM. Address is 9301 Tampa Avenue, Northridge, CA 91324 (818-886-5443). It’s a free show so come on by!
Matt performing at Borders in Orange County
Matt will be performing a free solo, acoustic show this Sunday, January 17th at Borders-2493 Park Avenue, Tustin, CA. at 3:00 p.m. If you’re in LA or Orange County swing by and show your support.
Happy Holidays everyone!
I wanted to give this version of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” to you all as a small “thank you” for all the love and support you’ve given us this past year. It’s just me playing classical guitar and layering it many times over. I hope you enjoy it.
Here’s to a healthy and joyous 2010.
Best,
Matt
All Is Said and Done: An Interview with Vertical Horizon
If there is any one person that a Rush fan should thank for reuniting the prog-rock giants after the band took a long hiatus in 1997, it’s Vertical Horizon’s frontman Matt Scannell.
Wait. Who? And from what band was he?
After Rush’s drummer, Neil Peart, saw both his daughter Selena and wife Jacqueline pass away within a matter of a year, the legendary rock icon took some much-needed and much-deserved time away from the Canadian trio. As questions arose concerning whether the band would ever manage to return, Peart—who took off on his motorcycle for a journey that lasted somewhere around 55,000 miles—found himself listening to pop radio more than usual. As fate would have it, he happened to fall in love with a song by Vertical Horizon called “Everything You Want,” and—according to Scannell, who would later meet and become friends will Peart—the song inspired the drummer to get back into music.
