Upscale Combo

Here's what you can expect from Upscale Combo:
When you book us, we'll arrive 1.5 - 2 hours before our downbeat (the moment we're scheduled to start playing) to get set up, sound check, and warm up. Then, once it's time for guests to start showing up to your event, leave the vibes to us. We'll provide background music that will elevate your guests' experience by allowing them to immerse themselves in the moment. Whether you're event calls for a danceable playlist, joyful tunes, smooth dinner vibes, or live energetic music to join together multiple moving parts, we're here to let your guests enjoy every moment.

Upscale Combo is a group of good friends who love to 1) use our musical expertise to make great music together and 2) bring people together through sharing that music. We are a 5-piece combo consisting of Nathanael Brinson on drumset, Lindsey-Grace Brinson on clarinet and soprano saxophone, Lily Slater on vocals, McKenna Fink on double bass, and Adrian Graves on guitar. We are all alumni from Evangel University in Springfield, Mo and love to be active in the Springfield and Ozark communities.

We have all been good friends for quite a while having met in college, and have loved getting to play with each other in a more intimate setting in Upscale Combo.

We specialize in having fun together in our music making, sharing music that everyone can enjoy, and setting an atmosphere using the music we love to play. We love to experiment with music, taking a different approach to certain songs that have always been played one way or another and adding our own spin to them.

Since we rely on a sound system to project the sound of our vocalist, electric guitar, and double bass, we will need easy access to at least one elecrical outlet. As far as the physical space we will occupy, the absolute minimum area we need for our setup is 75 square feet; the optimal amount of space is at least 120 square feet.
We will provide our own sound system, microphones, cables, extension cords, etc. If your event will already have a sound sysetm set up, let us know and we will let you know whether we'll use the sound system provided or bring our own depending on space, venue, sysetm specifications, etc.
