Biography
Formed in 2006 by Chris Merritt and Roland Osborne, formerly of Paperface, both sought to rekindle the creative venture they began 6 years prior. With the focus on recording and composition in their early years, the addition of Chris Walvoord and Brian Mayfield has positioned Upperville as a prolific live band.
Upperville has inherited a long pedigree of mature songwriting and soundcraft. Heavily influenced by such artists as Ben Folds, Weezer, Coldplay, Radiohead, and Billy Joel, the band is adept at bringing diverse sounds to their performances and taking the risks that ultimately allow them to chart new sonic territory. As Upperville, the band has been able to successfully translate the emotion and power of its songs in a live forum.

Discography
Upperville EP - Self Release 2006
...had the joint jumpin
Michael Cannon - Coolhandent.com
The band that did it for me was Upperville. This band poured it on strong...They had the joint jumpin with every keyboard stroke and bass groove. This versatile band could probably get a gig anywhere: opening for Hall and Oates, a night at CBGB's, or another Lollapolooza. I'll keep my eyes open.
