Proudly Presents
The phrase "overnight success" means nothing to the
Minnesota-based country band UP SOUTH. Collectively, the band's members have
nearly a century of experience honing their craft. From smoke-filled saloons to
festival stages, UP SOUTH prides itself on playing like their lives depend on it
and in a way, they do. As lead singer Mike Villalva recalls, "I remember being
about 9 or 10 years old and seeing "Jailhouse Rock" on TV. I asked my parents
who that was and they told me it was Elvis Presley. That was the day my life's
purpose was set in stone."
While their individual biographies go back quite further, UP SOUTH'S story
begins much more recently. Mike explains, "I moved to Minnesota from Nashville
to be closer to my daughter. When people hear that I moved from Nashville to
Minnesota they give me a look like I'm doing things backwards but that can't be
further from the truth. I can write songs anywhere. I'd rather have to travel
back to Nashville than have to travel to see my daughter." Shortly after
arriving in Minnesota, Mike formed UP SOUTH and the band hasn't looked back.
UP SOUTH puts their all into every show and there's no way anyone will ever leave one of their shows not knowing just that!
UP SOUTH performs hits from your favorite artists such as Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Zac Brown Band, Billy Currington, Chris Young, Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, Alabama, John Michael Montgomery, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Steve Earle, Dwight Yoakam, and many more! Ya'll will LOVE this band!
