Price Range: $30-$180
Gig Length: 60 - 180 minutes
“UpTown’s” musical style has evolved into a laid back, fun mix of genres influenced by jazz, rock, country, and blues. The songs we perform are covers that span from 1930 to the present, vintage jazz to contemporary pop. The group consists of a guitar and upright bass with vocals floating over the top.
We would appeal to baby boomers and light jazz listeners. Our music is melody driven and intoxicatingly simple. We are appropriate for small venues, intimate spaces, and social events. We have performed for benefits, bars, house parties, and First Friday. Give us a chance.
Mark Wild and Elyse Douglas met in 2010 in a jazz vocals class taught at The Community School of Music in Bend, Oregon taught by Michelle VanHandel. After the two had been working on a body of music for approximately two years, they began to perform occasionally. After some agonizing deliberation, “UpTown” was the name that Mark Wild and Elyse Douglas decided to give their duet in 2012. In 2013, they became a trio when Allen Regnier joined “UpTown”, playing double bass. “UpTown’s” musical style has evolved into a laid back, fun mix of genres influenced by jazz, soul and blues. The songs performed are covers that span from 1930 to the present, vintage jazz to contemporary pop. Our motto is “For the love of music”.
