“The J.C.’s shine as torchbearers.”
Creative Loafing of Tampa.

It all started with some sharkskin suits and Otis Redding tunes more than seven years ago. Since that point, the members of the The Legendary J.C.’s have ridden a wave of press accolades and flocks of sweaty fans to a point where they are ready for lift-off.

The Legendary J.C.’s (commonly: 'The J.C.’s') started flooring Central Florida crowds with their brand of soulful rocking blues in 2000.
Such over-the-top shows have garnered the band headlining slots at three consecutive years worth of NOLA Jazz Fest late-nights, Florida Music Festival and Macon, Ga.'s Bragg Jam, Springing in Blues festival in Jacksonville, Fl, a month at Monte Carlo Casino – Las Vegas, Tropical Heatwave in Tampa,Fl., Milledgeville BBQ Festival, Smoke on the Water BBQfest in Lakeland,Fl., Crawfish Fest in Tallahassee,Fl., Palatka Blue Crab Festival, Wingfest in Hilton Head island,N.C., Scallop Festival in Port St. Joe, Fl., Party in the Park in Painesville,Oh., and community events throughout the southeast. The J.C.’s have also headlined radio-station events for WMNF, WLOQ and WMMO. Other festival performances include Voodoo Music Experience, Langerado, LEAF festival, Down on the Farm, Bear Creek Music fest and Dunedin Mardi Gras.

A typical show touches on rootsy-blues music and rockin' the f*%k out, balls to the wall. We are not a jam band by any means, but we improvise a lot. So a typical show is really two -- the opening set we keep our songs four to five minutes long, but when we get deep into it, we can go for three or four hours.”

Charity work including benefit concerts for hurricane Charlie in Florida, Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans musician fund,Boy's and Girl's club of Florida are also a part of the bands normal schedule.

The band has been in high demand at corporate functions, as well, playing for dignitaries of the G8 Summit, Canadien Parliament, US house of Representatives, Full Sail Recoeding arts, Harley-Davidson and Southern Comfort to name a few.

Not only does the band pay respects to their influences through their gold-standard original tunes, they have also performed with some including: James Brown, B.B. King, Dr. John, Al Green. Other opening slots have included: Tab Benoit, Topaz, Robert Randolph, The Black Keys, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Rebirth Brass band, Sam Rivers, Cowboy Mouth, J.J. Grey and Mofro, Stanton Moore, Greyboy Allstars, Robert Walters, Galactic, Blues Traveler and even Bad Company.
