Brian is the rhythm/lead guitarist for Vertigo!
Brian has spent most of his life obsessing over Eddie Van Halen's tone and techniques! After 30 years of work, he has gotten pretty good at this stuff. From funk to metal, from rock to blues...Brian is your guy! In spite of Brian's obsession with getting the right sound, he can be a complete ham on stage, but all because of his passion for the song he is playing. He is a huge fan of baseball and regularly plays the National Anthem at the home of the Durham Bulls at least a few times a year. As he considers himself a human jukebox, you can come out to a Vertigo show, put in a request and test this 5th sense he has!! See you there!

Ted is the drummer/singer for Vertigo!
Ted has been playing drums since he was 4 years old. He played all the way through his childhood and into college but had a pitstop to go play professional baseball for the Montreal Expos when he was 20 years old! After the baseball career, Ted pursued many jersey cover bands and played all over the New Jersey shore circuit throughout the 90s and early 2000s. Moving to NC was a change in 2005 to the Raleigh music scene where he played in many cover bands including Boomerang, Rock of Ages, Bump, Stranger Days and others...Now Ted sits on the throne behind some really great musicians and wants to share his Zeppelin/Rush influences with all of you!

Eric is an accomplished bass player with over 30 years of playing in bands across the Triangle! After working with a variety of local indie rock bands in the 1990's, Eric spent many years on the Triangle club circuit performing with local legends like Skeeter Brandon, Larry Hutcherson, and Mike Pitts. He previously held the bass chair with The Yard Dawgs and 1999 Problems, and can occasionally be seen with local Stone Temple Pilots tribute band Flies in the Vaseline. Eric's experience and versatility has made him a chameleon of bass, able to fit with virtually any kind of musical scenario: Motown, R&B, blues, funk, pop, bluegrass, rock, prog, metal... all of which he brings to the stage with Vertigo!
