More about Alive & Well: Stemming from San Diego, the pop punk/rock band, Alive and Well consist of Matt Vernon, Eric Brozgold, and Mike Mule. Originating as an acoustic project, founding member Matt Vernon started playing music at a very young age and continued to perform and play well through college where he was classically trained in Jazz and Classical Trombone. But it was at the end of High School that Matt got a real taste of the music industry to which drove him to pursue his career further. Post College, Matt formed Alive and Well, a new venture to provide a creative outlet for his dramatic changes he was making in his life. After several years performing under the moniker, Matt joined forces with Mike and Eric to reform the newest rendition of Alive and Well to its form today. Matt realized the songs leant themselves to a larger orchestration and members were added from the local scene. Over the years the band built quite the following by playing shows alongside heavy-hitters like Light Years, Driver Friendly, Such a Mess, Head North, and A Will Away and self-produced their first EP, The Escapism Sessions.
