PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho)

Tonight is the launch of 1UP’s much anticipated 4th album ‘Under the Same Sun’. This album is the evolution of deep musical experience forged through years of playing as a band - American saxophonist Dave Lewis's raw and lyrical sound is perfectly matched by the soulful intensity and searing blues vocals of Lizzie Deane. The band lays down the deepest grooves and affords space for virtuosic improvisation and breathtaking interplay. With their original material and evocative lyrics 1UP bring their own contemporary edge to the groove. Above all it's a band of outstanding musicians who play as one.
