JCBUS has toured North America and Europe, attracting an enthusiastic grassroots following while garnering the support of the likes of NPR and AAA radio with their eye-opening cover of Wilco’s ‘I Am Trying To Break Your Heart’ (which they performed with Jeff Tweedy at Wilco’s Solid Sound Festival in 2011).
