The Uptown Drifters emerged on the North Texas music scene in 2012. Drawing on a common love of swing music, these musicians have excited crowds with their “feel good” music that takes its listeners on a fun journey through multiple genres and eras of Americana music. Using a strong anchoring rhythm to provide a platform for some of the area’s most talented soloists, this flowing beat begs the dancer in all of us to join in. Two-step to country, lindy hop to big band or groove to New Orleans dixieland.

Testimonials
Bobby Newton
Academy of Western Artists - Director
“In his day, Bob Wills was known as an "innovator", one who pushed the limits, thought outside the box, brought in new elements to the music. Today, the Uptown Drifters are following in those footsteps to bring Western Swing to today's standards, to bring in new audiences. If you like Western Swing and want to see and hear what Bob would be doing if he were alive today, get a CD or catch a live show.”
