JC Brooks
JC Brooks is a musician and actor who's main pastime is writing love letters to the Chicago arts scene. He makes a unique brand of "indiesoul" with some of Chicago's best musicians in an eponymous project (formerly The Uptown Sound). Sometimes you can catch him with electro-r&b duo, the K.i.D., as a solo singer/poet, or with a micro-cabaret drag act at The Green Mill and Uptown Underground where he slays as bubbly femme-fatale Mz. Genni Cyde. He's played several Chicago venues from sweaty dance parties at the gritty Door#3 to laidback cabaret nights at City Winery to a sold out House Of Blues. Beyond Chicago he's been tapped for a week-long residency in Brooklyn at a one-of-a-kind multimedia salon called Nightcap Riot and also to play in Milan for its mayor's reception dinner for their new sister city, Chicago. Earlier this month the JC Brooks Band released their first album in four years and this summer and fall they will be playing shows around the country to promote it.
