JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound
JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound was a post-punk soul band from Chicago, IL. 2007-2016
In his 1970 Playboy Interview, Ray Charles described soul as "people who do things from the heart." In performance and on record, it is undeniable that JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound are 100% soul. Like Otis Redding fronting the Stooges, JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound get crowds twisting and writhing on the floor, something thatʼs been sorely missing from live music.
With their latest release Howl (5/21) JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound enters the next chapter of its soul sound evolution.
"...enveloping stage presence and palpable charisma." --Rolling Stone
"'Howl' is soul with its jacket off." --NPR Music
"JC Brooks looks and performs like a cross between Chuck Berry and H.R. of Bad Brains in their primes, but his skintight R&B and post-punk soul upend expectations of a retro act." --Washington Post
