Read our band bio and meet our band members

The Uptown Entertainment Band (UEB Band) is one of Atlanta’s hottest live bands on the scene right now. Their effortless blend of funk, jazz, R&B, rock and pop is guaranteed to keep the party going and keep everyone entertained, no matter your musical preference. Lead singer and guitarist North “2unes” Woodall has been quoted as saying “I can’t be put into a box musically. I’m not one thing, but many things bringing people together from all sides of the music spectrum.”. He says his musical stylings are “like gumbo”; a combination of a little bit of this and a little bit of that, all mixed together to make something beautiful that is not only delicious to your ears but feeds your soul as well. And it is with that mindset that he started The Uptown Entertainment Band over 15 years ago in Atlanta, GA.

2unes is an Ohio born, Atlanta based, self-taught musician who has been playing guitar since the age of 11 when his mother first exposed him to the guitar and all things music. With minimal formal training, lots of determination and his God given talent, 2unes was able to master the guitar by simply watching and studying such greats as Santana, Ernie Isley, Joe Walsh and many others. After his extraordinary talent afforded him a successful career supporting various bands and musicians like Lakeside, The Ohio Players, Roger Troutman and Zapp and Will Downing, just to name a few, 2unes decided to start a band of his own; and thus, The Uptown Entertainment Band was born.

The members of the UEB Band are some of the hottest musicians from around the city; bringing together the vibrant sounds of brass horns, keyboards, the warmth and rhythm of the drums and of course the electric guitar. The live instruments and high energy of the band will put you in the mind set of musical greats such as Earth Wind and Fire and Midnight Star. Covering songs from artists like Kool and the Gang and Bruno Mars, allows the UEB Band to bridge the gap between generations of music lovers everywhere. Wherever the UEB Band goes, they bring the party with them.

2unes Bio

With “2unes” as your stage name, and if I were a betting woman, I would put money on
the theory that jazz guitarist North Woodall can play his hind parts off. Mmmm, I’m
feeling lucky right about now… any takers? On the real tip, my point of view is much
more than conjecture. Having sampled the goods, if you will, speculation turns into
truth.Primarily self-taught, it was at the age of eleven that his mom introduced him to
the guitar and a love affair with music that has stood the test of time and many
challenges were born. In his teens, North studied the playing styles of Ernie Isley,
Santana, and Joe Walsh, among others. Hard work, determination, and a natural gift
paid off. North began playing R&B, entered several talent shows and, as a result of his
burgeoning proficiency with the guitar, he was quickly established with known groups in
and around Dayton like The Delvones and Round Trip Ticket.Mississippi-bred and Ohio
led, not my words ya’ll, Woodall, followed his internal guide and headed south to
Atlanta. There, he continued to hone his skills and his cup overfloweth when
opportunities came a-knocking for him to share the stage with his homies, funk masters
Lakeside and The Ohio Players, along with Roger Troutman and Zapp, Roy Aires, Millie
Jackson, Tom Brown and Will Downing.

Sammy Goodson

Sammy Goodson began his musical career at an early age in Pensacola, Florida. While in High School, he played the drums in the marching band and the saxophone in the concert band. He is the son of Ida Goodson of the renowned Goodson Sisters. Sammy attended and graduated from Florida A&M University (FAMU) with a BA degree in Accounting. Upon moving to Atlanta, GA., he began playing drums with various local bands. A couple of the bands were the opening act for various recording artists and groups. His love and passion for music has been and will always be deeply rooted in his heart and soul.

Karen “KD” Woodall

From Co-Coa Beach Florida holding it down in Georgia. The pursuit of music at an early
age playing the saxophone in high school band and the keyboards in talent shows and
also with her passion for dancing, she also enjoys choreographing dance steps. While
listening to the acapella group take 6 is what gave her the passion to sing and write
lyrics. her influence is Chaka Khan, Anita Baker, Sara Vaughn etc. She has done studio
work from lead to background for several independent artists. While on stage not only
does she enjoy entertaining the audience but plays the “funk box “ also known as a
handsonic.” Her classy style is like no other.

Joseph D Jenkins

Joseph D. Jenkins is a bassist from Buena Vista Georgia now living in Fayetteville Georgia. Playful yet introspective, his melodic style reflects his roots in gospel. Inspired by his uncle Curley Davis Sr. to play bass at a young age in the family’s gospel group. After joining the military, he had an opportunity to play in various country’s such as Germany, Egypt, Israel and throughout the United States of America during his 23-year military career. Currently he is the bassist for the “Up Town Funk” band for the past three years and he is loving every minute of it. “Peace” bass player put with pic on uebband.com thank you

Tristian McKay

Born in Long Beach, Tristian grew up in Carson California. Brought up with Jazz and Fusion influences, incorporating these styles into pop and RnB at an early age came with ease. While exposed to many different elements of sound, Tristian remains engulfed in the voices of nature. Experienced in writing and composition with multiple bands before, he now studies under 2unes and his band to further his craft and knowledge.

Regis Oddo

Regis began his music education in Nigeria, West Africa playing the organ for the church. His parents love for music inspired his musical tenacity. As a child, his favorite artists were Michael Jackson, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley and Lionel Richie. He enjoys jazz, R&B, and Pop, Funk, Reggae, Afro Music, Hip-Hop, Neo-Soul and Classical music. Being born in Philadelphia and growing up in Nigeria not only expanded his love for music but exposed him to different cultures, which helped solidify his musical interests as well. Regis believes that music is an international language that brings everyone together, and wants to be a part of that movement. He is inspired by piano greats including Oscar Peterson, Bob James, Dave Grusin, Jeff Lorber, and Chick Correa to name a few and continues to thrive for music excellence. Playing the piano was the beginning of a long journey with countless bands in both Africa and the United States. He continues to build his musical knowledge every day with the dream of becoming an inspiration for younger would be musicians of the future.
