Like Otis Redding fronting the Stooges, JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound get crowds twisting and writhing on the floor, something that's been sorely missing from live music. Brooks erupts with heart and raw emotion, harnessing the Uptown Sound's post-punk reimagining of JB's moves and MGs grooves to unleash pure and uncompromising soul music ranging from sweaty on-the-one workouts, dance-punk booty shakers, garage rock thump humps, and aching R&B ballads without a missed step in between.
Born in the great melting pot of Chicago's Uptown neighborhood in 2007, guitarist Billy Bungeroth, drummer Kevin Marks and bassist Ben Taylor joined forces with the Lowdown Horns to lay a ferocious foundation for the soulful shouts of Mr JC Brooks. The son of a Jersey funk diva set adrift by the disco era, he's renowned for his take-no-prisoners stage style, giving you no other option than to get up and move!
