Get It Together

VINYL FORMAT. Comes with a digital download code! Born in the great melting pot of Chicago's Uptown neighborhood in 2007, guitarist Billy Bungeroth, drummer Kevin Marks, and bassist Ben Taylor (Beat Down Sound/September Sessions soundtrack) 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, leaving audiences with no other choice than to get up and move! Brooks & Co. finished off 2009 with a bang, playing to ecstatic crowds throughout the Northeast at part of the Numero Group's critically acclaimed Eccentric Soul Revue. They've collaborated with greats like Syl Johnson, Tortoise's Dan Bitney, Renaldo Domino, and the Impressions' Nate Evans. Following up their explosive debut Beat of Our Own Drum with the relentlessly funky new "Get It Together" single featuring a stomping cover of Wilco's "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart," these intense young soul stirrers are bringing it to your door, ready to score, and not be ignored. JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound are for the people remaining awake through a great revolution. . . for people who want to move and not just sit tight. . . for soul people!
