How did they become Vertical Horizon?
Back in 1991, while both Matt and Keith were going to Georgetown University, Keith had a weekly gig at a local club. In October of that same year, after meeting Matt at a party, Keith invited him to join him on stage and that was the beginning of Vertical Horizon. About five years later, Matt’s mom was at Border’s in Chestnut Hill, MA, and while there, she was helped by the store manager. For helping his mom, Matt invited him along with a guest to the show. The manager ended up taking Ed. Afterwards he found out that the drummer at the time was leaving, so set up an audition and got the job. Sean joined the band in February of 1998. The band was looking for someone to fill their hole at bass and Sean was the first one to audition and eventually landed the spot. A more complete biography of the band members can be found in the We Are section of The Official Homepage.
