Tim Holloway - Drummer/Vocalist
Tim Holloway has been drumming, singing, and writing music professionally for over 35 years. He has toured overseas and extensively in the Western United States. When forming the band Fastlane, Tim called upon band members he performed with from previous groups. He understood that the members not only had to gel from a personality standpoint, but also be able to duplicate the intricate subtleties that the Eagles are known for. Being a drummer/singer/songwriter, Don Henley was a big inspiration and influence on Tim’s musical career. Being able to perform music from one of his favorite bands with some of his favorite musicians is, for a lack of better words…
terminally pretty.

He, along with his band brothers in Fastlane, strive for nothing but the best out of each other. “This is one of the most talented group of musicians with which I have ever collaborated.“
