Fastride is a hard rock band formed by guitarist/songwriter Ty Asoudegan. Ty, who is an alumni of Berklee College of Music, started his musical journey in Philadelphia. Ty’s skills have been recognized early on in his career. He was the grand prize winner a nationwide contest hosted by Slash and Guitar. Slash stated in a radio interview that Ty had some of the most potential out of any of the young guitarists he’d seen at the time. Music publications such as Guitar Player Magazine recognized this accolade. This helped Ty forge the foundation for his own project.
Ty & his band Fastride have shared the stage with Buddy Guy, Scott Ian, Jake E Lee, Tom Keifer & Jeff LaBar of Cinderella, Dean Ween, and members of Thin Lizzy & The Misfits.
Since relocating to Southern California, Fastride has performed at many clubs in the LA area, such as The Whisky A Go Go, The Viper Room, & Molly Malone’s.
Ty loves to collaborate and experiment with different genres/styles of music. He collaborates with YouTube legend Ed Bassmaster, renown artist/muralist Robert Vargas, and is also a session guitarist at Gemini Musiq located at the legendary West Coast Customs (Home of MTV’s Pimp My Ride). Fastride’s music has also been featured in Porsche legend Magnus Walker’s new show “The Big Thing.”
Ty and the Fastride gang come out guns blazin with their new single “Devil in Your Rearview” which features JD DeServio (Black Label Society) on bass.
