"The Uptown Band featuring Erich Cawalla and Jenifer Kinder exploded on the Pennsylvania jazz scene with their energetic live shows that have captivated audiences in the region (do yourself a favour and search for The Uptown Band on YouTube for a wealth of live gigs). Fortunately, The Uptown’s have turned all those hours of wild gigging into a collage of sounds where hard-driving funk meets blue-eyed soul with patchworks of modern pop thrown in for good measure."
