Upon Arrival has been around in one form or another since 2003. It all began when guitarist, Taylor Moss, moved to Nashville from Ilinois. He met drummer Jessi Baker and for the next couple of years they kept juggling members. Finally, they hooked up with, now vocalist, Sami Chatmon towards the beginning of 2005. After working their way through multiple guitarists, they weezled guitarist Jake Reynolds out of a rival band (or so to speak). After the addition of Jake, things began to become more serious. The final peice fell into place with the addition of bassist, Josh Johnson. This was the line up that is now, Upon Arrival.
