Upstate Rubdown is an acoustic septet from Upstate New York is a sonic whirlwind of foot-stomping Americana, complete with mandolin, alto/baritone saxophone, cajon, and upright bass, all led by a soaring harmonic trio of powerhouse female vocalists.

Drawing from every corner and decade of America's musical landscape, Upstate Rubdown has been described as a "hurricane of sound". The unique instrumentation includes mandolin, cajon, upright bass, and alto/baritone saxophone, all fronted by a powerhouse of 3-part female vocal harmony. The band can land perfectly in any setting, from intimate house concerts to prominent festival stages. The material is innovative and forward thinking, but never at the expense of a great hook or a solid groove. Upstate Rubdown plays music to move your body and soul.

Smalltalker
The name smalltalker refers in part to the shmooze, the how's-the-weather, the "welp...", aspect to the music. It's an afternoon on the beach under a palm tree with a beautiful woman that doesn't really like you that much but she's trying to get back at her ex and you don't really mind cause you don't really like her that much either.
