The band members behind these reviews are the musicians who play your event. Never a rotating cast.

They’ve been performing at our Independence Day celebration for many years, entertaining more than 3,000 members and guests each year, and they never disappoint.

Holiday parties across Texas
Uptown Drive is based in Austin and plays company holiday parties in every major Texas market, including Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio. One booking covers the live band, an emcee, DJ music between sets, sound, lighting and an audio engineer. It is the same corporate event band that plays galas, awards dinners and conferences nationwide.
One band runs the whole night
Our emcee runs walk-in music, leadership remarks, awards and raffles on time, so your team never has to grab a mic. When dinner wraps, the room turns into a party with live sets and DJ music between them. No dead air.
December weekends commit early
Peak Friday and Saturday holiday dates go first in every Texas market. Check your date before you sign the venue. Our production manager then coordinates power, staging, load-in and in-house A/V with your venue before the day.
Put your team on stage
Uptown Drive Interactive adds live band karaoke to your holiday party. Coworkers pick from 200+ songs on a clean, work-friendly list and sing lead with the full band, with HD lyric screens, duets and department sing-offs between dance sets.

Live music for your company holiday party
Want to give your team a rockstar experience?
Add our live band karaoke element to your event and your colleagues step into the spotlight. Between dance sets, they pick a song, grab the mic and sing lead with the full band behind them, with HD lyric screens, QR code song requests and an emcee who makes every singer feel like the headliner.
We call it Uptown Drive Interactive: a high-energy dance band and live band karaoke in one show, and the moment your team will still be talking about next year. Built for holiday parties, sales kickoffs, client appreciation nights and brand activations.
✓ 200+ songs. Motown, rock, pop, country, hip hop and today’s hits, with a clean, work-friendly list
✓ HD lyric screens. Facing the singer and the crowd, or fed to your venue’s displays
✓ Multiple mics. Solos, duets and whole-department sing-offs
✓ Vocal backup. Our lead vocalists sing harmonies and jump in whenever a guest needs a hand
✓ Dance sets in between. Karaoke rounds trade off with full dance sets, so the floor never goes quiet
✓ Planned with you. A pre-show worksheet for must-play and do-not-play songs
