The Tighten Ups

The Tighten Ups are a seven-piece soul, funk, blues, and rock outfit fronted by the powerhouse voice of Laura Jane Willcock — Southern California's favorite 'rock and soul' party band, and a San Diego Music Awards nominee.

Catch them in their natural habitat: a packed dance floor at a waterfront lounge, horns punching, rhythm section locked in tight — the band name is a promise, not a suggestion. Their live album 'Tighten It Up,' cut at Thunderbird Analog Recording Studio, bottles exactly that energy.

They're regulars at Humphreys Backstage Live and rooms across the county — and their shows are often free, which might be the best deal in San Diego live music.
