Back in 1999, Vertical Horizon released a ground-breaking record and June 15, 2024 marks the 25th anniversary of their multi-Platinum Everything You Want. The album features the songs “Everything You Want,” “The Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)” and “You’re A God.” Now, Everything You Want is getting an anniversary vinyl reissue.
The band is celebrating with a new repress of the original record on translucent orange vinyl, which is available now on the band’s official website.
Founder/singer/guitarist/songwriter Matt Scannell, who did weekly live acoustic performances and Q&As throughout the pandemic on his social media pages, wants to interact with fans on such a special day.
The worldwide “Vertical Horizon’s ‘Everything You Want’ 25th Anniversary Celebration!” will commence on Saturday, June 15 at 12pm PT/3pm ET exclusively on the band’s YouTube page.
Scannell says:
EVERYTHING YOU WANT changed our lives forever. It has given us a long-lasting career and introduced us to generations of friends and supporters. On the one hand, it’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years, but on the other we’ve had quite a journey and each step along the way is filled with memories of how these songs have impacted peoples’ lives around the world. It’s a privilege to be able to celebrate the record this year with the people who have brought it into their hearts.
To commemorate the occasion, the band, including Matt Scannell, Ron LaVella (drums/percussion/vocals), Mark Pacificar (bass/vocals), John Wesley (guitar/vocals), is hitting the road this summer on Gin Blossoms and Toad the Wet Sprocket’s co-headlining tour that kicks off August 1 in Oshkosh, WI at the Leach Amphitheater as part of the Waterfest Concert Series.
In addition to their schedule of headlining and summer tour dates, Vertical Horizon continues their decades-long dedication to performing for thousands of servicemen and servicewomen in all aspects of the military throughout the U.S. and overseas with concerts in Alaska, Guam, Kuwait, and everywhere in between.
