Since releasing their debut album “American Hymn” in February 2014, Toot Sweet has expanded from a duo of accordion/vocals & upright bass to a 6-piece band featuring trumpet, electric bass, drums and backup singers, under the direction of Mary Spencer Knapp (lead vocals, accordion/keyboard).
Synthesizing her classical vocal and piano training with her love of jazz standards, French chanson, Kurt Weill and 60s rock/pop, Knapp creates a form that is at once playful, dark, light, and a touch literary — termed cabaret soul.
“From Blondie to Beirut to Broadway, Toot Sweet has it all: it’s a progressive expression of a vaudeville vibe, dressed up in a modern musical costume, and delivered flawlessly with funky finesse.” – Odetta Hartman
Mary Spencer Knapp and TOOT SWEET currently live in Brooklyn, New York

Burning Man 2012
One week ago I was in La Playa with my dream team and all the amazing human beings that go to that event. It is like a convention of good people giving all their love to each others. All the best hugs are in La Playa. It is there where you realize how many things we have and how many things we can totally get rid off to be happy. All the effort that is going to Burning Men for me, it is totally worthy. Survive and receive help from estrangers. Share the best time with the best team I could think of. Visualize, imagine, create. Get inspired, get lost, come back. Have all this beautiful adventures when going out to explore… I have no words to explain how does it feel… EXPERIENCES. I miss La Playa!
Welcome home!!
