(we make music)
The South Side Neighborhood of Bridgeport nurtured the band over the course of two years and helped sustain the band midst line up changes and musical shifts as the band worked to tighten up and refine their sound. Now, the band is proud to have a full soul line-up made up a diverse group of people from numerous backgrounds and locations across the United States. Each brings their own specific strengths and talents to a truly dynamic group.
The band plays solid originals drenched in the spirit of soul to make you move and covers that you didn’t know were your favorites till you heard them at the show.
The band’s sound takes cues from Memphis and Muscle Shoals–between the lazy rolling of the river and the steady chugging of a southbound train. The feel lives between Chicago and Detroit–lively city streets and the pumping of factory machinery.
The hustle and bustle is music. A sound that moves people. A feeling that creates community and speaks to people. A rhythm that sways hearts and shakes asses–true Soul Music.
Brooke & the Nice Things are too young to be old school; however, their influences undoubtedly reflect the Golden Era of Rhythm and Blues.
