Tim Rushlow is an American country music singer-songwriter. Between 1991 and 1997, Rushlow was co-lead vocalist of the country music band Little Texas, which recorded four albums and a Greatest Hits package, in addition to charting more than fifteen singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts during Rushlow's tenure as lead vocalist.
After Little Texas disbanded in 1997, Rushlow later attempted a solo career on Atlantic Records in 2000, recording one album and charting a Top Ten single on the U.S. country charts titled "She Misses Him". When Atlantic closed its country division in 2001, Rushlow formed a six-piece band called Rushlow, which charted two singles and recorded one album for Lyric Street Records.
Rushlow and his cousin Doni Harris (a former member of Rushlow) founded the country music duo Rushlow Harris in 2006. This duo charted two singles on the country charts that year.

[edit] Biography
Tim Rushlow was born in Oklahoma to a musical family. His family moved to Texas when he was still at a young age, although they would continue to visit Oklahoma in the summertime.[2]
Originally, Tim Rushlow was the lead singer of the country music group Little Texas. He and Dwayne O'Brien, the group's rhythm guitarist, met in Arlington, Texas in 1984. Rushlow later moved to Nashville, Tennessee, followed by the other members of Little Texas.[3] Little Texas had several country music hits throughout the 1990s, but by 1997, the group had disbanded.[3]
During Little Texas' hiatus, Rushlow pursued a solo career. In 2001, he was signed to Atlantic Records, and soon released his debut single, "She Misses Him", which reached Top 10.[4] However, Atlantic Records closed its Nashville branch only a month after the release of his album.[5][6]
In 2003, Rushlow and five other musicians (including his cousin, Doni Harris) joined to form a new group called Rushlow. This new group was signed to Lyric Street Records in 2003, eventually reaching the Top 20 on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart with "I Can't Be Your Friend".[5] The group's album, Right Now, was released, but due to restructuring at the label, the band was dropped.
Harris and Rushlow later formed a country duo called Rushlow Harris, which is signed to Show Dog Nashville, a record label owned by country artist Toby Keith (a friend of Rushlow's).[2][6]
