What's the difference between FAST LANE and other bands?

No matter how large or small your event and/or venue, FAST LANE will perform with the same passion and intensity during each and every performance. FAST LANE blends musical styles into an explosion of funky grooviness that keeps dancers on the floor till last call.

SCOTT FREE emerged from the Northeast in a full fury of musical ideas. He's been playing professionally since his formative years - sneaking in to play club gigs as an underageling. He has played with a wide variety of musical stars - Bernie Worrell, George Clinton, Parliament/Funkadelic, Bo Diddley, to name a few. His musical repertoire is impressive ranging from country to r and b to rock, but inherent is the deep down funkiness.....evident in his contributions to FAST LANE.

VERNON MONTOYA studied music theory in Boston, wrote songs since he was a teenager, recorded music in his early twenties. He learned to tinkle the ivories under fire. His jazz comping lays down the background that moves the groove......of the melodies from FAST LANE.

ANDRE WICKS is our only Gainesville native. He was discovered as a child playing drums by a local professional, his talent was recognized early on. He hosts a local jam night and is a first call drummer. He likes to combine afro-cuban rhythms, drum line precision and his special showman's flair to --------the FAST LANE!!!

TYLER GLISSON lays the bottom, as a first call bassist in central florida, he is well regarded for his soulful sounds and mastery of the bottom end...for the FAST LANE
