Str8Up Band is a high energy dance band dazzling audiences in the Southwest from Phoenix & Tempe, Arizona, to Southern California, New Mexico and Colorado . Str8Up has a colorful collage of some of Phoenix's finest musicians. Unlike most bands, this group has not one, but five lead vocalists and each specializes in a different genre of music. Band members pride themselves on the fact that they make their visual impressions as important as their sound. Fans love the way Mary Hurtado, & Happy Frejo choreograph their contagious dance rhythms. It's their way of promoting audience participation.
They perform a diverse range of tunes from their experiences of growing up as young Hispanics. They are not limited to one category of music; in fact, in Spanish alone they are able to perform at least five different styles, from Tejano, Cumbias, Salsa, Merengue to Rock En Espanol. In English, they groove to everything from R&B/Funk, Disco, Rock, Jazz, Country, and Top40 ('70's, 80's, 90's and today).
Str8Up Band play music we were raised on because it is a part of our Chicano culture and who we are
today. "We know our audience will understand and appreciate that," Mary Hurtado says.
The band's musical and stylistic elements, especially Mary, Happy, Carlos and EJ Rodriguez distinctive vocals and the band's superior musicianship, make Str8Up songs instantly recognizable and danceable.
The members come from all parts of the country, from Michigan to Oklahoma, and come together as friends and a band to play all styles of music: therefore, upon designing the group's format, they each have stayed true to their musical roots and combined different influences. The name Str8Up says it all.
Born in Phoenix, Arizona and raised in South Phoenix, Rick Garcia began forming the current Str8Up Band eight years ago. Rick recruited some of the best musicians from the Phoenix metro area. Among the ingredients that stand out in Str8Up's style is their ablity to keep any party going! A combination of great music and a fun atmosphere can make any occasion one of the best times that you will ever experience!
Always giving there best performances and growing as artists, Str8Up Band continues to deliver songs that keep people dancing, no matter where they are. With this kind of commitment, Str8Up carves their own niche. As Garcia puts it, "playing the music we love, is the beginning of our dreams and will try to take our brand of Latin/Funk/R&B music as far as we can go".
