Hey guys! Thanks for dropping by. Upstate Escape is one of the newest bands in the Ithaca area. Fronted by Cornell grad student, John Norwood, the group mixes a unique blend of rock, jazz, and tongue-in-cheek humor. The line-up is rounded out by the solid rhythm section of Chris Bentley on bass, and Ryan Silvernail (formerly of Azwethinkweis) on drums. Please check out the tracks from our debut album, The Balls Tight LP, currently available on iTunes and Amazon.com!

As newbies to the Ithaca music scene, UE is currently looking for some fresh gigs. If you are interested in booking, commenting, or anything else, shoot an e-mail to us at upstate_escape@hotmail.com. We'll hit ya right back. Peace, - Upstate Escape
