Upstream Entertainment has been producing concerts and gatherings in the Northwest, for music lovers who prefer improvisation over mainstream radio (media driven) pop. Too many concerts today are impersonal, overpriced, and lack that communion between band and fan. Most concerts today are under 90 minutes long, with bands that play the exact same show night after night, month after month, sometimes year after year. The Upstream Fan is seeking more..... Averaging over 3+ hours in length, 2 sets / night always, with audio recording encouraged (so you can trade and burn for personal use) Mainstream music pails in comparison . These bands strive to create an energy between band and fan not found in any other genre in the music industry. We want you to walk away from an Upstream gig in awe.....looking forward to the next even if you have no idea who the band is. "Trust Us" We are a "professional audience", with over 40 years of combined concert and festival appearances between us. Our goal is to scour the world for the most talented and incredible live bands on earth and share them with music fans here in the Northwest.
