What began as some quality time together, playing music as a family, has now become a digital EP. Via BMG, Fogerty’s Factory, is available on all digital platforms today- in celebration of John Fogerty’s 75th Birthday!

A Capella? Maybe. Upstate is certainly harmony-driven. It seems like a new word should be created for the type of honest music that Upstate has developed. Their new single, “Everything Changes” was written before the pandemic but it certainly applies nicely to the current times we are all living in now.

“For Those Lost, for Those Taken” by Samora Pinderhughes was written for all those murdered by police brutality and state violence, and specifically written in honor of and dedication to Sandra Bland. The song is being shared with the blessing of Sandra’s family as part of the 5th anniversary of her murder by Texas police.
