SCHEDULE OF EVENTS T H U R S D A Y, O C T O B E R 1 1 7 p.m.

Music, Mountains, and Memories Homecoming Concert featuring JC Brooks and The Uptown Sound, plus student bands, Armstrong Quad Tent Headlining the Homecoming concert this year, we are thrilled to welcome Chicago’s JC Brooks and The Uptown Sound to campus for what may be the show of the year. The band bills themselves as “post-punk soul” and they are fronted with the wild funk magnetism of six-and-a-half-foot tall, afro pompadoured JC Brooks, who moves like a young James Brown and invokes a generation of music far before his 27 years. KEXP called their debut record on the legendary Bloodshot Records “A lively set of gritty old-school soul and funk injected with raw garage-rock aggression,” and they are burning up NPR and AAA radio stations with their stomping cover of Wilco’s “I Am Trying To Break Your Heart” (which they performed with Jeff Tweedy at Wilco’s Solid Sound Festival).Two well-loved student and alumni bands will open. Come prepared to dance until late! Alumni tickets are $18. Student tickets available at Worner Desk.

It’s surreal, it’s got style, and it has great music. Indeed, it’s a cross between a “Saturday Night Live” skit and a really great musical. This event, sponsored by the Student Alumni Association (SAA), will also feature kettle corn and hot chocolate. In the event of inclement weather, this event will be in Armstrong Theater.
