Bringing some Soul to Brooklyn Bowl

Funky soul group JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound is coming to the Brooklyn Bowl Friday, August 17. JC Brooks has been noted by the New York Times as “Neo-soul Glory”, and the Chicago Tribune claimed that “The Uptown Sound is the real deal.”

Taking the stage with raw emotion and uncontainable energy, the Uptown Sound labeled themselves as Post-Punk soul and that they are. Added with a touch of R&B, this band creates a “lively set of gritty old-school soul and funk injected with raw garage-rock aggression”, as said by KEXP.

Accompanying JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound will be The Revelations Ft. Tre Williams, Mingo Fishtrap, DJ Jack Dutone (Brooklyn Soul Club).

Fri 9/14 Royal Southern Brotherhood

As said in their most popular song "Gotta Keep Rockin'", the Royal Southern Brotherhood keeps on rockin'.

The southern rock group comprised of Mike Zito, Devon Allman, Cyril Neville, and Yonrico Scott began jamming in saloon bars from Mississippi all the way to Maryland and will now be in the Big Apple on Saturday September 14, 2012.

The combination of having the talents of an Allman and a Neville in this band wows the crowd before the music even starts. After that first hit of the guitar string you know you are in for a special night of authentic southern rock.

The Royal Southern Brotherhood were nominated for the "Best Blues Rock" award by the Blues Music Foundation and won the 2010's Blues Music Award.
