About Me

The rocking horns and rhythm of Stiff Upper Lips waft a bit of Jamaican breeze into the rainy, chilly clime of Seattle. Led by Lynval Golding, veteran of the UK’s legendary The Specials, impeccably dressed Stiff Upper Lips disregard the hissing of grungy bounders and deliver a hefty helping of Saucy Brit beat.

Seattle scenesters will recognize familiar fixtures on the stand, such as Saxophonist Andrew Sodt, currently of Lushy and formerly of Tiny Hat Orchestra and his counterpart on the sax, noted jazz musician and Wayward Shamans alum Craig Flory. No caravan of Rockers would be full-length without a trombone and John Sampson fills the two toned shoes of this role, while bassist Kirk Larsen and drummer Mike Daugherty (Casey McGill’s Blue 4 Trio and The Yes Yes Boys) complete this most rude of musical aggregations.

Don’t forget your dancing shoes, and sing along if the spirit moves you – Stiff Upper Lips are coming to you. Keep muddling through...
