Vertical Horizon- Rock Band

Coming off a multi-platinum a #1 single, and two straight years of global crossing, Vertical Horizon just released a new album titled Go. As Georgetown University undergrads, Keith Kane and Matt Scannell discovered in each other kindred musical spirits and solidified their line-up with drummer Ed Toth and bassist Sean Hruley before signing with RCA in 1998. In 1999, Vertical Horizon released their RCA debut album, Everything You Want, which continued the band's progression towards an edgier, electric style while retaining their focus on sold songwriting. The double-platinum-selling album yielded four singles, "We Are," "You're a God," "Best I Ever Had," and the title track, which became the most played song on Top 40 radio in 2000. On the road, the band toured with the likes of Third Eye Blind, Dave Mathews Band and Barenaked Ladies. These guys are sure to rock the night away in Chandler.

She entertained audiences at the 2006 Ostrich Festival and we are thrilled to have her back. She was raised in the state of Guerrero, in her native Mexico. When Luz was 16 years old, her family left their ancestors, home and immigrated to the U.S. She formed a group with her brothers called the "Morelos Show" which quickly took popularity with the local nightclub scene. Now as a soloist, Luz recently worked on a new album, part of which was recorded in Monterrey, Mexico, including "El Chico Angel", "Como" and "Y Ahora Que". Her most recent singles are "Enamorada" and Llamame"
