About

Nostalgia is easy. Easy money. Easy memories. And the peak-and-crash crash rush of the comfortable and familiar, which fades away in an instant.

Inspiration is hard. Achieving it demands vulnerability, cooperation, and a belief that the next thing you create could genuinely move someone�s soul.

Over the many years together, the men of Fastball have come to appreciate that the whole point of their careers together is building off of the trust, creativity and just plain hard work of making inspired music together. It�s a career highlighted by the early career chart-topping success of hit single �The Way,� which guitarist Miles Zuniga wryly remarks, �I like to say that �The Way� gave us the freedom to continue doing what we do� and what the band has done steadily through the years is continually hone its voice and sound, which has further evolved during a 10-year streak that founders Zuniga, guitarist/singer Tony Scalzo, and drummer Joey Shuffield agree has seen them at their most creative and open-hearted as a trio of musicians and lifelong friends.

Spirited by the new material and what feels like an always-growing sense of trust and enthusiasm among them, the men of Fastball are looking forward to spending time taking their newest creations - as well as plenty of the old favorites - out to loyal fans who appreciate their quest to keep moving forward and challenging themselves. Zuniga said the shift to deciding what the three of them want as a band, rather than chasing trends.

�I started to think, I don't have to be buffeted by accepting whatever comes along. I can decide what I'm going to do, where I'm going to focus, where I'm going to put my energy,� he said. �I can do what I want to do with these guys. We have to be accountable to ourselves. We had to raise our game. That allowed us to succeed. To me, that was galvanizing.�

    Fastball - Simply Incredible

    by Steaknpotatoeguy on 9/20/17The Canyon Agoura Hills - Agoura Hills

    I had never been to The Canyon before. It was a long drive, but one I was happy to make to see Fastball. When I walked into the venue, I was shocked to see how empty the place was. A sign of the times, I suppose. People just don't seem to appreciate bands of this caliber anymore. I sat down at my seat in the front row and I was absolutely blown away at the talent of this amazing and under-rated band. One of my all-time favorites. There are no forgettable songs in their catalog. Guitar driven songs with phenomenal vocals and well-written lyrics. Although I've been listening to this incredible band for many years now, this was my first opportunity to see them live and I'm sure glad I did. They played everything I wanted to hear and then some. I was even able to get the band to sign their setlist to boot. A show I won't forget. As per the venue, I was pleasantly surprised. It was very small and clean. Not a bad seat in the house. Money well spent.

    by favre4all on 8/9/1720 Monroe Live - Grand Rapids

    Openers were very good. Fastball was great. They even played a Doors cover which was great. Event staff friendly. The photographers were annoying.

    Fastball Rocks Detroit!

    by AnglicanBeachParty on 8/8/17Saint Andrews Hall - Detroit

    Fastball is a straight ahead rock and roll outfit. There is no place to hide for these musicians, but then, they don't need that. Brilliant songs, brilliantly performed is what they brought to this live performance at St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit. St. Andrew's has a very "live" feel. The bass and drums came through to us with exceptional clarity. This was a hugely nostalgic concert for me and my 23-year-old son. You see, when Fastball's first album broke onto the airwaves in the late 1990s, he was 4 years old. I used to play guitar and sing him to sleep, and high on our hit parade were such Fastball hits as "Fire Escape" and "The Way." So, for him, almost 20 years later, to actually see the band firsthand was a momentous and wonderful thing for him, and for me. Fastball still has it, too, as demonstrated by a generous offering of songs from their newly released album. Don't miss this band!

    Fastball delivers

    by CincyAreaGuy on 8/1/17Taft Theatre - Cincinnati

    Fastball has been one of my favorites for years, and I was pumped when I heard they were coming to Cincinnati...and tickets were only $20! The band totally delivered, playing a good mix of songs from all of their albums -- old and new -- with good energy. They all seemed pretty relaxed and had good interaction with the audience (which sadly, was small). I would totally see them again. I hope they keep putting out music and touring.
