Uptown is a high-energy tribute to Motown, classic soul, and contemporary R&B, featuring three front men backed by tracks and live musicians. The show tours performing arts centers across the U.S., high-end private events, and select cruise ship contracts.
We are building our 2026 core company and swings of elite triple-threat performers who can sing lead, blend in tight harmony, and deliver polished commercial movement with charisma and stamina.
