Tim Rushlow fronted one of the most successful country bands of the 1990s, Little Texas. He scored a solo hit in 2001 with "She Misses Him" until his label fell victim to a corporate mega-merger. He regrouped with the band that takes his name: Rushlow. Other members include Tim’s cousin Doni Harris, who adds acoustic guitar and soaring harmonies to the mix; lead guitarist Kurt Allison; keyboardist/vocalist Billy Welch; bass guitar/vocalist Tully Kennedy; and drummer Rich Redmond.

The beginnings of the band Rushlow had begun during his solo career when Harris and Welch had become part of Tim Rushlow's band. Tim saw Allison, Kennedy, and Redmond playing at a Nashville club, backing another singer. "I remember thinking, 'These guys are smoking,' long before I knew what direction my career would take. Six months later, when it started coming together, I started asking around about them and found them again."

Tim and the new band took to the road, playing Thursday through Saturday in small to medium-sized cities, making "just enough money to get there and get back and have some Ramen soup and spaghetti on the table." He formulated a plan that coupled his tireless work ethic with the band's downtime, offering a live "unplugged" on-air appearance to local radio stations during the day, complete with a "win dinner with Rushlow" contest.

"It didn't cost anybody any money," he says, "and radio got so excited about us giving them our time that they would pump up the show and we would play to a packed house." Word would get back to the Nashville labels of how persistent Tim was with radio a week or two later. As the band toured, they were honing the songs Tim had been choosing, and many of them found their way to Right Now, their 2003 debut album on Lyric Street Records.
