With a nod to the past and an
eye to the future, Carlos Colina & Straight
Up (CCSU) have set up shop at the
‘Intersection of Jazz & Blues’ where they
purvey an eclectic blend of the two genres.
Led by charismatic frontman Carlos Colina
(vocals/harmonica), the group has been
winning over audiences with their live show
for nearly two decades, appearing at
renowned metropolitan area venues such as
Turning Point Café, BB King, Stanhope House,
and Watercolor Café. Performing their
original compositions and interpretations of
standards, CCSU builds upon the legacy of
the great Chicago harmonica masters with a
sound that is both traditional and fresh.

What's
new with Straight Up?
February 2013:
CCSU is pleased to
announce
the official addition of the lovely and talented
multi-keyboardist
Fred Lind to the band lineup.
He has been appearing
with the group since the summer of 2011 and complements the
CCSU sound quite nicely. Now we are five. Welcome aboard
Fred!
