Last Saturday night at Red Rocks could have been the most perfect night on The Rocks all season.

There were a lot of people in Denver looking for a funk release on Friday night, perhaps from holiday stress or just overindulging, and the Ogden Theater had just the remedy. The crowd represented a broad mix of music lovers, from younger folks looking for a dance party to go along with their many beers, to much older folks who looked like they’d seen been to their share of New Orleans Jazz Fests. The crowd never stopped moving as the high-energy band moved through perhaps two dozen songs.

Last week, the Chicago Soul powerhouse of JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound rolled into The Larimer Lounge for the second time this year and while this show didn’t pack quite the punch of their April throw-down, it did showcase Brooks’ amazing stage presence and vocal prowess as the group plowed through a 90 minute set for a modest school night crowd. The band seamlessly segued from banging dance numbers to soulful slow jams and Brooks never slowed the constant patter of witty and fast paced banter between songs.
