Do you want to hire Str8Up? We'd love to come and play for you. Please feel free to visit us at: www.MySpace.com/TheStr8UpBand. Contact Shawn at ShawnLeeMartin@gmail.com or call 1-507-896-3622 for available dates. Shawn and I began our music careers with each other starting out as best buds when we were 13/14 years old. We shared 1st and 2nd Chair Baritone Horn duties all through high school (La Crescent, Minnesota) and won a State Championship (in 1975 as I recall) on the strength of our Baritone duet. You KNOW we throw down! We're professional, efficient and we have the best repertoire in the biz. We'll play bars, casinos, we can provide acoustic (unplugged) entertainment for nursing homes, birthday parties, graduations, office parties, Christmas parties, bar mitzvahs, you name it, we'll book it. Calls and emails are coming in and dates are booking fast so check our schedule and let us know how we can be of service to YOU. Str8Up are: Ace: Guitars/Vocals, Jim "Tubs" Pichner: Drums, Shawn Martin: Bass/Vocals, Shelby Martin: Vocals
