    Too many great things to describe

    I cannot say ENOUGH about Uptown Drive. Phenomenal all around - from stage presence to performance to wardrobe they are the full package when it comes to wedding entertainment. If you want a party - this is your band!!

    Amazing - best band ever!

    Best 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!

    WOW! They’re the BEST!

    Uptown Drive surpassed any expectation we could have had! They were INCREDIBLE! Their crowd-work was amazing, they were so talented, and the playlist kept people on the dance floor all night long!! Greg was very responsive and offered advice where needed. 4 months later, and our guests are still talking about how wonderful they were. 100/10 would recommend booking them for your event!

    Best band ever!

    Wow! Wow! Wow! I am pretty much speechless because this band is THAT good. I first want to compliment, Greg Williams, the owner of Uptown Drive. From booking all the way through wedding day, he was nothing but responsive, respectful and a pleasure to work with. As for the reception, they made it what it was! I think what is incredible about them is they entertain everyone (not only those dancing on the dance floor) because every song is a TRUE performance. I am not lying when i say this, every time I have seen someone that attended my wedding, every one of them (young or old) comment on how great the band was. FYI I'm three months out from my wedding, so I've seen a lot of my guests since then. They played the right music while everyone was eating and visiting and knew exactly how to transition to dance floor time by doing a conga line. They let my husband and I get on stage and sing which we will remember and cherish forever. They came out into the crowd and let out our guest sing. They came out in the crown and danced with us! Me and some of my guests joke that we would like to have another wedding just so we can have them play again. I could absolutely not recommend this band anymore! Stop here and BOOK THEM!!! P.S. I have included some pics to show you how much of a good time me and all our guest were having.

    -A EXTREMLY HAPPY BRIDE

    Incredible Band!

    Just 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!!

    Amazing wedding band!

    Where 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!

    Wedding Band

    Uptown 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!

    Best Band For Anything

    Saw them several times at company parties, decided to hire them for our wedding reception - everyone there said it was the best band they've seen. Unbelievable talent, choreography, audience participation. Easy all in one pricing and they are completely self reliant. Hire them for your next anything!

    The most AMAZING band! Cannot thank them enough for the most perfect night!

    Such an amazing band! They are upbeat, interactive and so, so fun! Greg is super helpful and flexible with whatever questions you may have. They assisted with our ceremony as well, which was so perfect and another aspect I did not have to worry/think about. Cannot thank them enough and I could go on and on. Best band ever!

    Austin’s Top Rated Band - For a reason!

    We can’t even begin to explain how Uptown Drive made our wedding EXACTLY what we wanted it to be. Greg and the band are extremely professional and were by far the easiest vendor we had to work with. They followed every single one of our requests exactly! Their performance was recognized by literally every one of our guests, people are still telling us weeks after our wedding how good they were. They had surprises throughout the night that kept the party going the entire time! We could not have asked for anything better. Band over DJ EVERY SINGLE TIME PEOPLE.

    One of the Best Wedding Decisions We Made

    Uptown Drive was truly a highlight of our night. They kept the reception running smoothly, and the dance floor packed the whole time which was a very big deal to us. Literally, all of our guests raved how great and entertaining the band was after our reception. Thank you Greg and team for your professionalism from planning to our ceremony and reception. We HIGHLY recommend and hope many more couples get the pleasure of working with Uptown Drive!

    Uptown Drive Made Our Reception!

    Uptown Drive was an amazing addition to our wedding! Our guests haven’t stopped raving about how fun they made the experience. Their mix of music, energy and ability to get everyone up and dancing made them one of our favorite wedding decisions! I can’t recommend them enough.

    The 2nd best thing about my wedding day was the band

    I cannot emphasize enough how Greg and Uptown Drive made our special day even more amazing. Besides our celebration, they were the biggest hit of the night. If you're debating booking them, stop now and just do it. The music was amazing, the performance top notch, the set list superb, and they just brought such an amazing energy that kept everyone glued to the dance floor. All of our guests raved about amazing the band was, and I'd book them again in a heart beat. It also didn't hurt that Greg was a delight to work with, reasonably priced, and accommodated all our requests. 15/10 would recommend.

    Best band ever!

    Uptown Drive brings the party! Greg and his band are absolutely phenomenal and will make your party dreams come true! They learned and performed our wedding song perfectly! The dance floor was constantly hopping. Our guests wanted to finish dinner sooner so they could get on the dance floor. I highly recommend Uptown Drive!!!

    Greg and his team were wonderful. They made the entire process quick and easy and allowed us to customize the performance to fit our needs. Would highly recommend Uptown Drive to anyone looking for a great time.

    Uptown Drive is the BEST Wedding Band!

    I have been in the event business for almost ten years and was lucky to work with Uptown Drive on several occasions. When my own big day came around, there was no doubt in my mind that we would hire Greg Williams and Uptown Drive! They are responsive, low maintenance and easy to communicate with. Day of, they are FULL of energy, fun, have amazing routines and get the crowd involved. I can’t even tell you how many compliments we got on the band all night and every day since. If you want to dance all night long, you must hire Uptown Drive!

    Hire them now!

    Look no further -- you have found your wedding band! Greg and his band were the heart and soul of our wedding reception. From the never ending energy, the AMAZING horah, and the Michael Jackson impression our guests could not stop raving about how amazing the band was. We were worried our guests' energy level during a COVID wedding would be low, but Uptown Drive made us (safely) forget about the pandemic for a night and boogie the night away. Hire them now, you won't regret it.

    The BEST band for a wedding!

    We first heard Uptown Drive at a wedding almost 2 years ago. My husband and I commented then (after dancing all night) how awesome they were. When our daughter got engaged a few months later, I immediately contacted Greg with Uptown Drive. Their song catalog is extensive, their vocalists are fantastic, the musicians unbelievable and they gave lots of options to our daughter and son in law. The band also kindly worked with us as we scheduled and then re-scheduled this COVID wedding. Greg was super responsive and easy to work with. When the big day finally came, Uptown Drive more than exceeded our hopes and expectations. We all danced to every song!! They did such a great job of building up the musical momentum throughout the night. Not only are they so talented but they made everything so FUN! Everybody danced even the grandparents! They made the bride and groom feel so special, I just can’t imagine a more joy filled evening. All our guests said they have never heard such a great wedding band and we agree! Run, don’t walk and book Uptown Drive for your wedding or event.

    5 out of 5 STARS!

    My son and his fiancée were committed to Uptown Drive from the moment of their engagement. After driving from Dallas to Austin to hear the band six months before the wedding, I thought they were a good choice. Little did I understand how very special this band is! Greg was so easy to work with and provided suggestions to make the night truly memorable. Not even Covid-19 could diminish the evening once Uptown Drive started to play.
