The UpBeets

The band is known for performing classic jazz songs but with modern arrangements, and playing new, innovative jazz fusion charts that are fun to play and hear (and often get the audience on their feet, dancing in the aisles – and sometimes on the tables!).

A typical UpBeets set may include some redesigned classic rock, pop, and R&B tunes – everything from modern renditions of classic Horace Silver favorites to hard driving Dave Weckl Group charts, popular Tower of Power songs, or even a Jethro Tull tune done as if Dave Brubeck might have helped with the arrangement.

The UpBeets are:

Brad Strader (drums),
Ed Gallagher (guitar),
Elie Canetti (keyboards),
Tom Anderson (saxes/flute), and
Scott Norcross (bass)

Look forward to seeing you there!
