Sons of Nothing Days
FloydShow began under the auspices of Sons of Nothing (SoN) in 2001. SoN was the brainchild of collaborators Tim Hollinger and Thom Bowers, both of which celebrated a shared love of Pink Floyd. Although, SoN was formed with the intent of creating original material, FloydShow became the staple production.
Tim and I would often break into spontaneous Floyd jams during rehearsal, much to the amusement and eventual irritation of our other bandmates. SoN gigged regularly throughout the year, and occasionally we threw a Floyd cover or two into the set for fun. The audiences we played to seemed to dig it – in fact, at one show we were deluged with requests for more Pink Floyd and so we had to improvise a few tunes on the spot. Our future sound effects man, Fozz, was in attendance at that show and afterwards, planted the seed by saying, “Since Tim loves this music as much as you do, why don't you try the tribute thing again sometime?”

With Hollinger on guitar and Bowers on bass, the band grew to incorporate additional members to create the authentic Pink Floyd sound. The FloydShow experience grew from playing modest, local venues to large sell out events throughout Colorado, Idaho, Utah, and Washington.
Reinventing FloydShow
In 2007, the FloydShow project separated completely from Sons of Nothing. Bowers continues to write remarkable original music with Sons of Nothing while Hollinger retooled the band from four members to eight members with Tim (guitar/vocals), Joe (guitar), Dee (bass/vocals), Jason (drums & percussion), Amy (keyboards/vocals), Eric (sax/vocals), Juli (vocals), and Marie (vocals).
FloydShow incorporates the theatrics and spectacle Pink Floyd fans have grown to expect throughout the evolution of the band. With astounding audio and visual effects, intense bravura, intricate harmonies, and an incredible Floydian sound, FloydShow continues to amaze crowds through the Midwest and West coast.
