Bio
......UPTOWN HERO .. opening for STEVE RUSHTON........ ..benefiting the Down Syndrome Association of Los Angeles... Come hear us ..Live & Electric.... Support the cause!.. Sunday, November 15 at Santa Anita Park at 11:15 am.... ....See the poster.. .... ..Buy a ticket... ...... ____________________________________________________________________________ .. .. Uptown Hero is a pop/rock band from Highland Park, CA, in the vein of McFly, The Jonas Brothers and Blink 182. With Bernie Garcia (22) on vocals and rhythm guitars and Matt Flores (22) on lead and rhythm guitars, together they write power pop songs that are catchy and energetic. Their influences vary from Led Zeppelin to New Kids On The Block, Michael Jackson to Stevie Ray Vaughn resulting in strong pop melodies with an edgy musical drive... Uptown Hero’s self-titled debut EP, available soon, was produced by veteran producer/mixer/songwriter Michael Woodrum. Michael’s client list includes rock, pop and hip hop royalty such as Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Snoop Dog, Backstreet Boys and Joss Stone. “I was immediately floored by their hooky songs and driving energy, I just had to work with them,” says Woodrum. The songs on the EP include the pop hit single, Darling Jessica, the power ballad, The Call, and the punk edge of Nothing Last Forever. These songs were written to go right to radio, hit after hooky hit... The two Heroes have known each other since middle school and seeing them interact is reminiscent of siblings. Their banter, the way they finish each other’s thoughts, their closeness is the basis for their strong songwriting collaboration, and killer stage show, always keeping each other in check and pushing each other to be better... Uptown Hero’s EP will be digitally available on iTunes, Amazon, eMusic, Napster and Rhapsody. Physical CD’s can be purchased through Amazon’s on-demand service, CreateSpace.com and Uptown Hero’s website www.UptownHero.com... Check back with us often for Band/Music updates and information.
