For Upstate, the last few years have been a time of profound exploration
and self-discovery. As the band knocked off milestone after milestone on
the road, their sound, their lineup, and even their name all underwent
dramatic metamorphoses. Challenging and thrilling all at once, those
changes have finally culminated in the septet’s dazzling new album, a
collection that showcases both their remarkable growth and their
adventurous blend of folk, R&B, jazz, gospel, and rock and roll.
