Upstate

About this event

Transitions are both inevitable and startling – like a scenic drive before a hairpin bend, an abrupt storm, a rediscovered love. For Upstate, the past three years have been a litany of transitions as members Mary Webster, Melanie Glenn, Harry D’Agostino and Dylan McKinstry navigated some of life’s most pivotal moments. Amid a whirlwind of marriages, babies, funerals, and spiritual awakenings, mourning and celebration, was a long, uncertain pause. This restful time apart from the demands of the road fostered for Upstate the chance to make music that could touch on every corner of their lives, a deeply honest portrait. The band’s passionate songwriting, rich harmonies and stellar instrumentation, with a touch of nostalgia and vulnerability are perfectly at home in Caffè Lena’s listening room.
