Uphill plays blues straight out of the swampland. With a mix of original blues from Texas and
Chicago and revitalized versions of lost classics, Uphill has brought their own Carolina tang
to the table since 2005.
Deacon Blues captures the soul of guitar legends from Muddy Waters to Stevie Ray Vaughan,
but the Uphill sound is also driven by Chris "Catdaddy" Palestrant on keys, and the Deacon's
down-home blues harp. British bassist Tim Orton and Richmond native drummer Isaiah
Hunter provide a powerful heartbeat.
Injected with humor, passion and mojo, Uphill has a unique sound: steeped in tradition yet
utterly, ferociously alive.
