ACES UP


BIO:
No longer can it be said that country music belongs in the south. From the snow capped mountains of Montana to the perfection of the Oregon Coast, country music is a Northern tradition. But not until today has the North been able to boast its own unique style of original country music. Aces Up has changed that with their unique blend of blue collar country and the distinct sounds of the famous Seattle, Washington rock scene. The result is nothing less than boot stomping, feel good country music that has been packing venues since 2006. The Enumclaw, WA based band has become a favorite of even the most discerning country music fans, and a surprising addition to the playlists of committed rockers. True stories, real emotions and honest music is what Aces Up brings to the table. It's Northern Blue Collar Country. "Saturday was definitely a Telecaster night out at Hell's Kitchen ... I'll give it to you in those terms. Aces Up is a summer barbecue with a cooler full of beer - in cans. " The Weekly Volcano “Until Aces Up I was never a fan of country music, but when the people of an iconic rock city like Seattle, love your music, and the clubs promoters are fighting over who books you, you know you’ve got something special. These guys are the real deal” Joeseph Strand- Expert Records “Aces Up breaks down the barriers between country and rock. Undoubtedly a country sound, but one that appeals to even the rowdiest of rockers. So, put on your cowboy hat and KISS t-shirt and get ready” Flash (Owner) - Hells Kitchen “The best band out of Seattle I’ve seen in years, the music gives me goose bumps” Promotions Director Little Creek Casino Singles: Backyard Superstars Full Length: 2011 Exact Records release: "Backyard Superstars" E.P's: Released December 2009 Self Tiltled "Aces Up"
