Uptown

With the class of the young Temptations, moves like the Jackson 5, and the energy of Bruno Mars, everyone’s going UPTOWN! Hailing from New York City, the epicenter of contemporary Pop and Soul, UPTOWN is a group of young men who combine the smooth stylings of R&B with the fresh hits of today. The perfect mix of Bruno Mars caliber stage presence with the vocals of Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, you have never seen or heard anything like UPTOWN!

Each member of the collective is a soloist, bringing a unique flavor of performance that will have any crowd on their feet, dancing and singing along. Regardless of the genre or era of music, the UPTOWN show exudes freshness and fun in a way that everyone will enjoy.
