Editor's note

The Upper Room's gospel rock from Austin churches

A Texas band that mixed soulful worship with direct rock energy for two decades.

For their mix of church roots and rock drive, check 'Leave Me Alone' and 'Your Body' first. They show what the band was doing from the start.

They started playing in church settings but wrote songs like 'Your Body' that connected beyond traditional worship circles. Their sound had enough rock energy and soul to reach listeners who might not normally seek out gospel music. The self-titled 2001 debut established their approach, and they kept at it through albums like 'Commitment' and 'Radio State'.

Formed in Austin in the late 1990s with Scott Underwood on vocals, Andy Dodd on drums, and Michael Boyd on bass. After Underwood's health issues in 2010 slowed things down, they added new members and returned with 'The Journey' in 2019.

Archive material and source history

The Upper Room formed in Austin, Texas in the late 1990s, with Scott Underwood on vocals, Andy Dodd on drums, and Michael Boyd on bass. They started playing in church settings, developing a sound that mixed gospel with rock and soul. Their self-titled debut album came out in 2001.

Songs like 'Leave Me Alone' and 'Your Body' showed their approach, which was energetic and direct enough to connect with listeners outside traditional worship circles. They followed up with albums like 'Commitment' in 2003 and 'Radio State' in 2005, maintaining a steady presence through the decade.

In 2010, Underwood faced health issues that required surgery and rehabilitation, which slowed the band's activity for a time. They later added new members including Tim Skipper on bass and Luke Caldwell on keyboards. Their 2019 album 'The Journey' was their most recent release.
