POTTSGROVE TWP., Pa. – A Berks County-based band is marking a milestone tonight.
The Uptown Band is performing at Band-a-Palooza at Sunnybrook Ballroom in Lower Pottsgrove Township, Montgomery County.
This is the band’s 20th anniversary.
The Uptown Band has headlined hundreds of shows over the years, playing a mix of jazz, pop, rock, funk and R&B.
69 News spoke with Uptown’s founder about keeping the band together for two decades.
“Over the years you always go through players changing, but I think we have the best nucleus that we’ve ever had now. Most of the guys and gals have stayed with me a long time,” said Erich Cawalla.
Two other bands performing on tonight’s bill are The Groovemasters and Vinyl Rush.
The show runs from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
