Our decisions on what to put out into the world are based on musical spirit, artistic integrity, and the highest artistic intention.

All of us at Ear Up Records believe music should defy expectation and should ring true to the deeper meaning of the word improvisation – which is unforeseen, unexpected, or surprise.

Ear Up Records is the inspiration of saxophonist Jeff Coffin (Dave Matthews Band /Bela Fleck & the Flecktones) and was born from the desire to share music with no artistic restrictions, and to include musicians he truly supports and believes in.

Thank you for supporting original music and our unique musical artists!!

Proudly selected as “Best Label” in Nashville Scene’s Best of Nashville 2024

“Fans of fresh and innovative music have come to trust Coffin’s curation the way they once might have with Atlantic, Blue Note, Prestige or Chess.”
