Up2Somethin' was absolutely a great choice to play for our daughter's wedding reception on 9-18-21. The entire band is so talented! We asked them to provide a jazz trio for the cocktail hour and a 7 piece band with saxophone & female vocalist f...

or the evening. They have great vocals, so much experience and energy...everyone stayed on the dance floor until the end of the night. Rickey Ellis, the band leader is terrific to work with, he handled all the details and kept us organized and on schedule, the whole evening was a great experience. Evyn is the female vocalist and she really has a beautiful voice!, we were so happy to have her, Rickey and the entire band. Not only are they talented, but they were super personal and a pleasure to be around. The band interacted with the guests and it was obvious that they enjoyed being part of our special day and it was not just another job. I would highly recommend Up2Somethin! Check out their website https://www.up2somethin.com and you can listen to their YouTube music clips!

They performed many songs we liked and requested. They were able to cover songs from many genres, and anything we wanted that they couldn't sing they were happy to have their DJ play.
