After your late night shopping tonight, drop into Beach & Barnicott for a musical evening with Jess Upton and Steve Wilson starting at 9 pm. There will be mulled wine and spiced mulled cider to help the music along.
Jess Upton is Dorset’s best keep musical secret. Since fronting her first band, the stunning “Jess Upton Soul Band”, at the age of 17 she has captivated audiences and received great plaudits from those lucky enough to hear her sing. Her voice is as versatile as it is beautiful, having worked with big bands, an acapella trio and a Pink Floyd tribute band. She is currently working with Steve on her first solo album. Steve Wilson cut his musical teeth with The Little Green Men, a band that developed a strong cult following in the late 80s early 90s from Northampton to Weymouth. In 1993 he decided to go back to college to study music and performing arts, going on to form The Steve Wilson Band, which has so far produced 2 albums, both of which feature Jess on Backing vocals. Since then they have shared a love of alt country /folk and acoustic roots.
