The Uppertones, founded 2015, is a powerful trio of trombone, vocals, piano, & drums leaded by the great Mr.T-Bone and dedicated to the sound of the 50's in Jamaica, the Jamaican R'n'B, Jamaican boogie, calypso, & mento.
The kick start to homegrown Jamaican music in the 50s came from American rock'n'roll and R'n'B (rhythm & blues).
At that time it was the birth of Ska, which originated Rocksteady, Reggae etc. This trio aims to please crowds with a stompin' swing style mixed with the Jamaican edge and style.
Mr.T-Bone - Lead Vocals and Trombone
Phil Cuomo - Piano and Vocals
Count Ferdi - Drums and Vocals
