JC Brooks and The Uptown Sound bring their pitch perfect, full-throated soul to the Mohawk. Check out their David Byrne by way of James Brown cover of Wilco's "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" to get some idea of just how tight, seamless and self-assured their sound is. Supporting their Bloodshot Records debut, Want More, rhythm guitarist Billy Bungeroth, drummer Kevin Marks, bassist Ben Taylor and singer JC Brooks bring aggression and raw power to skillfully wrought classic grooves.

Their live set has earned high accolades for its kinetic theatricality. This is one of those shows that you'll kick yourself for missing as you get the second hand highlights from those in-the-know enough to attend. If they're good enough for Rahm Emanuel's inaugural, they're good enough for your Wednesday night.

Local nine-piece soul outfit Roxy Roca opening.
