Steve, Randy, Dale, Shayne, Duane

“When we found out David was retiring, our first thought was that he deserved it and we were so happy for him. Our second thought? We aren't ready!!! And so....Fast Track was born. From our three advancing members, Dale Perry, Steve Day and Ron Spears, we were privileged enough to add two more veteran grassers to our band family, Shayne Bartley and Duane Sparks. Sadly, our hearts were broken at the loss of our dear friend and bandmate, Ron Spears. He fought a long, hard fight and we know that he's keeping the Angel band on its toes. We have been fortunate to work with some very talented bass players since and look forward to continue honoring Ron’s legacy through music. We are proud to welcome veteran Bass man, Randy Barnes into the band and look forward to picking with him for a long, long time. We really enjoy playing music together and are focusing on original music arranged and performed in our own unique and traditional style. We look forward to seeing all of you down the road and continuing to pick, grin and pick some more! Thank you so kindly for your support!!”

MODERN TRADITIONAL BLUEGRASS SUPER-GROUP

FAST TRACK

Fast Track is a powerhouse bluegrass band formed by four highly decorated and accomplished musicians, each with a long history of success in the bluegrass and country music scenes. The group came together when three of the founding members decided to form a band and set out to find two more instrumentalists—mandolin and guitar—who were also strong vocalists. Needless to say, they struck gold, creating a perfect blend of talent and musical synergy.

With members who are decorated with awards from both IBMA and SPBGMA, Fast Track is no stranger to the stage of the iconic Grand Ole Opry, having performed there numerous times. The band has toured extensively across the United States, Canada, and Europe, sharing the stage with some of the most respected names in bluegrass and country music. Between them, the members of Fast Track have worked with and contributed to countless projects alongside bluegrass and country royalty, earning them a reputation as some of the finest musicians in the business.

The band features:

Dale Perry (banjo, bass vocals)

Steve Day (fiddle, vocals)

Duane Sparks (guitar, vocals)

Shayne Bartley (mandolin, vocals)

Randy Barnes (bass, vocals)

Fast Track has successfully released four full-length albums with Engelhardt Music Group out of Nashville, TN, showcasing their unique sound and talent. With such a strong foundation and incredible musical pedigree, there seems to be no stopping the momentum of Fast Track as they continue to take their audiences on a high-energy ride through the best of bluegrass music!
