Seat Of Our Pants (SOOP)

Contemporary Acoustic Folk

Seat Of Our Pants (SOOP) has been playing their own brand of contemporary acoustic folk by the “seat of their pants” for the past 5 years, and having a whole heck of a lot of fun doing it…but don’t let the name fool you. Carolyn, Jeff, Mark, and Mike have the whole package with tight vocals, guitar, bass, violin, percussion, and two CDs under their belts. They deliver a fabulous combination of original material and unique covers of current and not so current tunes, with genuine ease and grace. And they are no strangers to the stage at The Buttonwood tree, with 3 previous standing-room-only appearances since 2013. From their humble beginnings at an open-mic, to appearances at places like The Bread Box, The Vanilla Bean, to taking 1st place this Summer in the Open Mic Competition at The Majestic Theater in West Springfield, SOOP has attracted a word of mouth following in Connecticut and beyond that continues to grow.

Friday November 18th, 8-10pm | $10
