here's our story
Vertigo Vibe was formed in 2003 by Randy Stout. He had a clear vision...he wanted to assemble a group of exceptional musicians who took their hobby seriously, but had a focus on fun! One by on, he made connections and talked to a lot of musicians. After a month of screening, he set up the first get together....as no one knew each other. That first meeting of the band members in February, 2003, in Randy's attic, proved to be fate, as the formation of Vertigo Vibe finally took shape and those original guys rocked (Scott Murphy, Jim McCauley, Ken Peffley, and Dale Hatt)! Vertigo Vibe has played in 9 PA counties for more than 800 gigs, and ran without interruption for 15 years…until 2018. At that time, Randy dissolved Vertigo Vibe and joined Block Party. He also and started focusing on providing sound & lighting services for The Mike Foltz Band. This led to also providing sound & lighting for a NEPA band, Dirty Roxx (based in the Lehigh Valley). From there, Randy added The Hemlock Crue (Harrisburg), and a few Berks county bands, including Storm, Mere Image, and Firestorm; and continues to offer services to othe bands in need. As Vertigo Vibe is now resurrected, re-formed and re-structured, we continue to play steasdily (though less often) across 7 PA counties; but Randy still has the same sense of excitement about his new bandmates...all very experienced and highly talented. Who could ask for anything more? INTRODUCING...
The guys in vertigo vibe...

Lead Guitar & Vocals
As ytou know, Jake Adam left Vertigo Vibe in February, 2023, for the greener pastures of Memphis, Tennessee. This has left a void and an open [guitar] seat in the band; but we are confident we have found a qualified replacement. Stay "tuned" for an announcement.... hopefully coming in March...as we think a welcome addition to the Vibe is on the horizon and will bring a definite edge to the band. Who can it be now...?
Jeff Black
Drums & Percussion
We first met Jeff "on-the-job" at our gig on March 19th. He had all of 5 days to review and learn our Set List; but he played every song and nailed every break like hed been with us for years. Since we were so impressed and wanted the opportunity to work with him again, Randy asked if he'd be interested in doing more gigs. He also is in the band Mere Image; so, of course, we didn't want to have any conflicts with his schedule. Turned out, there were only 6 dates he couldn't do. As a "backup", we will also work with Brad Hill, who will fill in for Jeff as necessary (starting in May, 2022). We are delighted and honored to have Jeff and Brad join the Vertigo Vibe team!
Randy Stout
Sound, Lighting,
Management & Founder
Although getting a late start in the music business (first band was in 1984), Randy started Vertigo Vibe in 2003 and kept it going until 2018. He took 2 years off; joined The Block Party Band in 2018; started doing sound for a couple of Harrisburg-based bands (Mike Foltz Band & The Hemlock Crue) and a Lehigh Valley band (Dirty Roxx). In 2020, in the midst of the "pandemic", he revived Vertigo Vibe with a brand new line-up! The "new" Vibe is made up of 5 very talented guys from other bands he's worked with along the way. We started gigging again June, 2021; and have ere-developed a following along the way!
dan shartle
Bass & Vocals
Dan has been very helpful to Vertigo Vibe by "subbing" on bass & vocals for a few gigs in 2021; and has continue to be there for us throughout 2022. He has been quite an asset to the Vibe, great to work with, and we all appreciate his help and dedication.
