Welcome to Uptown Sound — Where Music Meets Community
We are Uptown Sound, a Montclair-based nonprofit bringing our community together through music. We celebrate local talent, support our small businesses, and create memorable experiences through live music, our Summer Stage series, and the annual Uptown Sound Music Festival. Everything we do is rooted in one goal: making our community stronger, more connected, and a little more fun.

Interested in being part of our Summer Stage Series in 2027? 🎶
We’re already looking ahead to next summer and would love to connect with local musicians, businesses, sponsors, and volunteers who want to help us bring free live music to our community!
Our Summer Stage Series takes place on the front lawn of St. James Church, bringing our community together to enjoy live music, support local businesses, and celebrate the incredible talent in our area.
If you’re interested in getting involved in 2027, we’d love to hear from you!
