Fastball - December 30 @ 8:00 pm

Fastball, formed in 1994 in Austin, Texas, has carved a niche by blending melodic, Beatles-inspired pop with late-'90s mainstream rock. Consisting of Miles Zuniga (guitar/vocals), Tony Scalzo (bass/vocals), and Joey Shuffield (drums), all veterans of Austin's underground rock scene, Fastball made their mark with their debut album, 'Make Your Mama Proud,' in 1996.

Their follow-up album, 'All the Pain Money Can Buy' (1998), featured the hit single "The Way," which dominated American rock charts and enjoyed crossover success as a pop single. The album earned platinum status within six months of its release and garnered two Grammy nominations. Fastball embarked on extensive tours, sharing the stage with renowned acts like Marcy Playground and Everclear.

Fastball's musical journey continued with albums like 'The Harsh Light of Day (2000) and 'Keep Your Wig On' (2004), showcasing their evolving sound and songwriting skills. In 2017, they released 'Step into Light,' followed by 'The Help Machine' (2019) and the highly acclaimed 'The Deep End' (2022).

With nearly three decades of musical history, Fastball continues to captivate audiences with their infectious melodies and genuine artistry.
