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
