Vanishing Point History:

---

In the summer of 2017 Gary and Ziggy reunited their musical directions to create a band that would be fun for dancing but also enjoyable to those that want to sit and listen to music from several decades. The project quickly gained recognition as a potent dance rock trio. Not wanting to lose any momentum the band decided to seek out an additional member. This would add more versatility in both the vocal and the instrument work. With two different guitar styles that augment each other rather than compete, Vanishing Point created a fresh sound for any song.  

Gary, originally from Enola PA, gravitated to music and has not stopped for almost 40 years. Over time he has played keyboards but predominantly guitar. His lead style puts feeling in every note and gives the band a distinctive sound. He has also mastered what is now the lost art of slide guitar. His strong vocals add a dynamic to the music that must be experienced. 

Previous bands include Flashback, The Distractions, The Swinging’ Daddies, Revenge, and now Vanishing Point.

Brian is originally from the Reading, PA area. Brian’s musical beginnings started with his introduction to RUSH’s ‘2112, Permanent Waves’ and ‘Moving Pictures’ albums.  As soon as he heard this progressive style of music, he was hooked and began playing.

After a 10 year run as the guitarist with an ‘oldies/variety’ band and a few harder edged projects, the opportunity for national recognition was finally within reach; Brian was selected to be a guitarist in the original progressive/rock band ASLAN. Regrettably; after several years of dedicated weekend touring, recording sessions, and major label interest from Sony-550 and Atlantic, the band wasn’t able close the deal.  Taking 15 years off from performing, Brian finally caught the music ‘bug’ again and started making sporadic local appearances around 2016. 

Brian’s wide range of musical influences along with years of stage experience, blend well with Vanishing Point’s edgy rock format. His extensive experience with PA sound reinforcement and lights adds to the Vanishing Point show. 

Previous Bands include ASLAN, and bands ranging from soft rock to metal, and now Vanishing Point.

Russ is originally from Philadelphia, PA. He has been playing drums since he was 10 years old. Over these years he has played a wide variety of music; marching, concert, jazz bands, and backing singing groups.  His true love is rock which has been his style since. He has also taught percussion to individuals and variety drum corps.  

Previous bands include Vintage Vinyl, Old World Folk Band, Whiskey on the Rocks, and of course now Vanishing Point.  

Also known by a few as “Bob Ziegler”, Ziggy was drafted into the role of playing bass while in high school when his friends had to replace their bassist. Since that time, he has played the bass non-stop. Ziggy has been part of the Rock and New Wave scene in various bands in Jersey and Central PA ever since. Ziggy’s fresh sound comes from a combination of vintage amps and modern basses, many of them made by the best custom luthiers. He also is recording music in a home studio.

Previous bands include, Memory Lane, Forever Strange, The Distractions, Running Red, Force, Bamboozle, and now Vanishing Point.
