JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound

A lean, mean and highly unlikely cover of Wilco’s “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart” helped put Chicago soul revivalists JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound on the map. The group also enjoys some of the finest TV placement that the Fox network has to offer: For years, their poster has been on the wall of the “New Girl” character Nick Miller’s bedroom (actor Jake Johnson is a fan of the band and appeared in the video for their track “Rouse Yourself,” alongside Aubrey Plaza). Fans of the band can expect to hear some new material from them at this show. Earlier this year they released their latest album of foot-stomping Memphis soul, Neon Jungle.
