Katherine Wright2023-07-23Uptown Drive performed at my wedding reception! They were interactive, danced/played instruments out on the dancefoor, selected the best songs, and were just incredible! They were my favorite part of my wedding reception and I couldn’t recommend them more!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Maggy Gaskins2023-06-06Best wedding band ever!!!! Greg and the band were so easy to work with and put on the performance of a lifetime! We had multiple people tell us Uptown Drive is the best wedding band they’ve ever experienced. They truly made our wedding party the best event ever and we are so glad they were able to be there!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Frank Bowers2023-04-22Just book Uptown Drive for your wedding or event - trust us! My spouse and I had incredibly high expectations for our wedding band and Uptown Drive not only met those expectations, but shattered them in every way possible. From the moment the band started playing, our guests were completely hooked and never left the dancefloor. The band members are truly top-tier musicians and their talent was evident from the very first song. They played a fantastic mix of songs that had everyone up and dancing all night long. Even better, they were able to read the crowd and play the perfect songs to keep the energy going throughout the entire reception. Working with Greg (their band leader) was awesome. He was incredibly professional and responsive, making the planning process stress-free and enjoyable. On the night of the wedding, the band was punctual, well-prepared, and truly went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly. All in all, Uptown Drive was an amazing investment and one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. It’s the best party band I’ve ever seen.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Amanda Bressner2023-04-16Just WOW! If you are looking for a band that brings the energy and makes your party like no other - HIRE UPTOWN DRIVE! Not only did they keep everyone dancing all night long, but they even brought me and my husband on stage for an encore performance! They were so much fun and every single one of our guests has not stopped raving about the band. Also, something I didn't realize would make much of a difference but that many people have commented on is that they alternate singers throughout their set. This just brought new life constantly to the night and kept everyone excited. I originally picked Uptown Drive because my wedding planner said they are the most fun band they usually see and they truly exceeded all expectations. I cannot recommend them enough!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Beth Milam2023-04-01Uptown Drive is a GREAT band to have at any party. They keep everyone dancing and their crowd interaction is top notch! They are so easy to work with and accommodate any request you make!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Victoria Helbing2023-03-20Uptown Drive was one of the highlights of our wedding day. From the beginning, Greg was always very responsive and accommodating to our preferences and helped our vision come to life. They also assisted not only with live music, but played music for our procession, cocktail hour, and reception. I cannot praise this group enough for their adaptability, optimism, and willingness to help out. Unfortunately our officiant that we booked did not show up on our wedding day, but then fortunately for us, Quiesean stepped up to the plate and officiated our wedding on short notice. It is a memory we will look back on and cherish/laugh at forever and appreciate a fellow red raider (wreck em!) to help us out in time of crisis. Uptown Drive performed a live set during dinner and then turned it up for us while on the dance floor after dinner. They are great with keeping the crowd engaged and involved in performances. Myself and my husband are already thinking of another event we can plan and book uptown drive for because we loved them so much. They truly made our wedding day so special and memorable. They worked well with our vendors and introduced themselves to myself and husband while setting up. Every single one of our guests talks about how amazing the band was and we credit uptown drive for all these amazing memories we were able to create with them on our wedding day!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Ashlynn Patrizi2023-03-14Where to begin, my husband and I first saw Uptown Drive preform at one of our favorite bars when we first met, Bakers Street Pub, and instantly fell in love with them. We first heard them perform in 2018 not even knowing that they were a wedding band! When we got engaged in 2020 we immediately knew what our first decision would be…. Hiring uptown drive to play at our wedding. This was absolutely the BEST decision we made for our wedding. Greg Williams really made the process easy, exciting and it was an absolute pleasure working with the entire band. We danced, we cried and we got blisters on our feet.. highly suggest this band. They get the party started and get the crowd excited!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Kassidy Porter2023-01-27Best band ever!!! So interactive with the crowd — they know what they’re doing! Beyond blessed to have them at my wedding, it wouldn’t have been the same without Uptown Drive!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Lauren Ross2022-12-06First word that comes to mind about Uptown Drive is WOW!!! They put on a spectacular show and provided the best entertainment for my wedding! Their voices are beautiful but they had choreography as well that had all our guests in awe! It was a party on the dance floor all night! Highly recommend booking if you want your wedding guests to have the best time dancing!

Versatile, interactive, enthusiastic, and extremely talented are a few of the words, not even sure those do them justice, that I would use to describe what ones gets with Uptown Drive. I have booked them three years now for our annual corporate gala and it is something new and different every time. Greg and his team are truly the best. Their talent and energy are like no other!

We originally booked Uptown Drive's interactive show in 2016 for our company holiday party and loved them so much we’ve invited them back every year since! I get a kick out of watching our team share the experience on stage with the band but, of course, am always aware that I’ll inevitably be called up to lead some random rock anthem. Ha! Big thanks to Greg and the band for all they do!

My phone hasn’t stopped buzzing since Saturday night. Our attendees, sponsors, and board have all been raving about Uptown Drive. I’d only seen your promo videos and have to say that your performance far exceeded my (sometimes lofty) expectations. You’ve really developed a talented crew and the skills and personality combined make for a truly remarkable experience!
