Our versatile five piece group, the UPBEAT BAND, is one of Chicago's most exciting and creative party bands, offering a high energy live performance with variety to ensure that once the party begins, it never stops. Our well balanced song medleys seamlessly segue from one song to another, and are designed to pack your dance floor with dramatic momentum – we call it dance party by design.

Classics. Contemporary. Customized.
We musically connect with our audience. With our commitment to customized event planning, we put great care in organizing tasteful music selections, specialized arrangements, and dance party concepts that really bring your event to life. From Sinatra to Santana, we offer a balanced mix of todays latest, and classics spanning the last five decades, including swing/jazz, R&B, Motown, Rock, Funk, Disco, Salsa, ballads, and contemporary. With our insight, experience, and preparation, we make sure all the important music and production details planned for your important special event are executed perfectly.

Weather your event is a wedding, corporate party, gala, ball or festival, creating a distinctive, fun, and memorable party atmosphere is what we do – and with five members all lead vocalists and multi-instrumentalists, we achieve a dynamic, polished sound at the best value in Chicago.
