Uptown Fever were just what we needed for our disco themed New Year's Eve party. They were very professional from our very first communication and all the way through the event. The song list was incredible, and the musicians were all extremely talented. We couldn't be more pleased with Uptown Fever. If you are looking for this style of music, you simply cannot go wrong. Thank you for a tremendous performance!
Response from Uptown Fever:
Thank you so much for hiring Uptown Fever for your New Year’s Eve event. We enjoyed performing for you all and making it a night to remember. Your ballroom was beautiful, and we can’t wait to come back!
We are so happy we hired Uptown Fever to play at our wedding! They were great and had everyone on the dance floor the entire night! Their energy was contagious! They are the perfect band for wedding/parties with all age groups. We were nervous when hiring a band because we got married on a Friday night, but Uptown Fever was able to work us into their schedule with no problem! Two years later we still have people asking for their information! Thanks, Uptown Fever!
Wow! If you are looking for a band that is fun, exciting and sure to keep you dancing all night long, Uptown Fever is a band that won’t disappoint! We had such a great time listening and dancing in the aisles to fantastic music! This energetic band played all of my favorite music from Motown to the greatest hits of the disco era in the 70s. All of the popular song choices made it fun to clap, sing along and move to the groove! The music, lighting costume changes and excitement tied everything together and made it such a wonderful night! The band members are not only talented and professional but make it so enjoyable that you don’t want to leave! I highly recommend Uptown Fever for all your parties, weddings and other special events. They would be fantastic at a 70s party! Hottest band around!
This group had us up and dancing. The bend of the music and the vocals is great and the harmonies were tight. When it was time for each vocalist to sing a solo they knocked it out of the park. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better it did. When the night was over everyone I talked to on the way out couldn’t believe what a fantastic show they had seen. Well done all the way around.
Uptown Fever's talent comes through with both their vocals and music. They present a professional show visiting the 60's 70's and 80's...especially the disco era. The 2 hour+ show we saw featured great visual slides of the period, leading into the hit songs of that decade. Segments including blending songs together without breaks. Overall, Uptown Fever is a band that will get you out of your seat, and movin' to their music. The musicians know what they're doing, and the vocalists have great range.
