   About Upstream

Imagination is essentially a phenomenon and when used ingenuously can inspire an actual "out of body" experience. Simply close your eyes while listening to the exhilarating Caribbean sounds of the band "Upstream". This is not a dream! You are literally in your own Tropical Utopia and suddenly you've taken refuge from your stressful existence... Ahh... Pina Coladas! The Upstream experience will most definitely make an indelible impression on your mind, body and soul.

Upstream, started in 1989 in the Twin Islands of Trinidad and Tobago and have been performing in the U.S. for over 14 years. Their talent, creativity and vision are astounding. All of the musician's are brilliant and unique and bring various seasonings to the pot! The band plays an indescribably fascinating blend of reggae, calypso and soca.

Fortunately (thanks to modern technology), your experience need not be fleeting or transitory. Upstream has five CD's available. "Upstream", "Life", "Jump to the Rhythm", "To Da Maxx" and "Pick Up Yourself". Life is good...
