The Upstate Trio is a funky, energetic, and talented jam band that originated in Gloversville, New York in 2003. Having cut their teeth and honed their considerable musical chops in the upstate area, they brought their sound westward in 2008, making their new home in Eugene, Oregon. Comprised of guitarist Jay Waylett, bassist Justin Alric, and drummer Matt Veeder the Upstate Trio is a veritable feast for the ears. Incorporating elements of rock, funk, reggae, blues, and jazz in their music in live performances, they seamlessly bob and weave through sets that include rousing, provocative originals as well as covers ranging from rocking Phish, Zeppelin, and Talking Heads tunes to intimate jazz standards, with the fluidity and precision of a Swiss watch. Catch them live for the full Upstate experience.
Connectarine is a soul soothing musical experience full of deeply layered harmonies & intricately textured string conversations. A female fronted rock & americana band intertwining originals w/ juicy renditions of your favorite songs from the 60’s-today.
