Duo Richard Marx & Matt Scannell On Sale 8/17

Grammy-winning singer/songwriter/producer Richard Marx and Vertical Horizon lead singer/songwriter/producer Matt Scannell are a musical match made in acoustic heaven. Both platinum-selling vocalists and guitarists have had their own successes throughout their careers. Now the talented duo has teamed up to banter and bang out hit after hit and the stories behind them in support of their new CD aptly titled, “Duo.” The 10-song collection features a brand new song they wrote together (“Always On Your Mind”), as well as reinventions of mega-hits “Hazard,” “Everything You Want,” “Endless Summer Nights” and more.
Marx started out as a soft rock, adult contemporary artist, but has proven that, despite being known for his soft ballads, he has enough edge to veer into the classic rock genre. Well-known for his hit songs in the ’90s, such as “Endless Summer Nights,” “Right Here Waiting” and “Should Have Known Better,” he was the first solo artist to have seven songs hit the top five on U.S. charts.
The very successful Vertical Horizon faced some highs and lows, especially when they lost their record deal, but with the release of “Go,” they are reviving themselves. “Burning the Days,” the group’s first new project after a five-year hiatus, is currently set for release on September 22, 2009.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Celebrity Theatre is conveniently located on 32nd St., just 4 blocks south of the Loop 202 freeway, in Phoenix.
