General Admission Podcast

New to General Admission? Need something to get you hyped up for Season 3? Never fear – we’re revisiting some of the best of General Admission with the ARCHIVES. In the last mini-episode before our WBEZ launch extravaganza, Don and Tyler look back at their chat with JC Brooks, the frontman of JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound. (You might have already heard their soul-infused cover of Wilco's I Am Trying To Break Your Heart.) Discussion subjects include what it's like to be on the edge of professional success for years, the line between JC Brooks the performer and JC Brooks the person, and why the band's songwriting has grown less political and more personal. You can check out more of JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound on their website. They'll also be performing on Friday, May 30 at the Do Division Street Fest.
