Upstate

Upstate—a band nearly ten years in the making. Founding members Mary Webster, Melanie Glenn, Harry D’Agostino, and Dean Mahoney have grown older and wiser over these years, motley in their pasts, yet ever-evolving in their presents. Having cut their teeth together as artists and musicians over hundreds of shows and two studio albums, including 2019’s acclaimed collection ‘Healing,’ their four individual artistic visions and distinct musical voices have grown into a whole more significant than the sum of its parts.

Entering a new decade in tumultuous times, Upstate have grown to understand themselves both individually and as a unit and find gratitude in being able to play their role in the circle of the song. And through that revelation has recommitted themselves to the values of truth-telling and authenticity above all. Upstate has always been a band that writes honest songs, and 2021 is shaping up to be their most truthful year yet. Audiences can count on what the group has always been known for: musicianship, harmony, and a “leave-it-all-up-there” show. They can also expect something that’s both new and years in the making—a band that’s coming into focus.
