About / Biography

From today’s high-energy dance hits to the nostalgic Rock n’ Roll classics. Fast Times has been entertaining audiences of all ages since 1999 with the most iconic eras of music! Fast Times has raised every dance floor to an entirely new level. Performing power-packed songs from the discographies of Donna Summer, Whitney Houston, Prince, Guns n’ Roses, No Doubt, Bon Jovi, Journey, Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, Billy Idol, Bruno Mars, The Temptations, Madonna, Michael Jackson and Dua Lipa – just to name a few.

With 25+ years as professionals in the event and live music space, they’ve brought down the house from intimate weddings in Tahoe and Monterey, to audiences in the thousands at Levi’s Stadium, Avaya Stadium, Oracle Park and The Venue at Thunder Valley. Fast Times has also opened for legendary acts like Gladys Knight, Blue Oyster Cult, Sister Sledge, 98 Degrees and more.

Although the bands’ name spawns from an 80’s classic, Fast Times’ aesthetic has a range as eclectic as their music: 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and Rock n Roll to formal suit and tie and Hollywood glam — the choice is yours. Performances and wardrobe are customized to fit your event’s theme and to make your celebration a memorable and visually immersive experience.

Not only limited to Weddings, Birthday Parties, Fundraisers, Holiday Parties, Public and Private Events; Fast Times has also played for many Corporate Events for companies of all sizes, from start-ups to Fortune 500s.

Fast Times can provide the following at your event for an additional cost: professional sound system, sound technician, lights, professional DJ, an acoustic set, a mic dedicated to make toasts, announcements, auctioneering and/or an MC.

Fast Times has you covered during cocktail hour, dinner and breaks with the option to play from their collection of music or your own curated playlist so no one misses a beat.

With members based in both the Sacramento and San Francisco Bay Areas, Fast Times has entertained all throughout Silicon Valley, Reno and Lake Tahoe Area, Sacramento, Monterey, Napa and Wine Country. They’ve also performed all over the country and are ready and equipped to travel outside of the US to perform at your event.
