As the crowd at Mercury Lounge wavered between revelatory dancing and distracted social chatter, it was clear which songs in Hoots & Hellmouth’s (@hootshellmouth) exuberant set were the favorites.

And not just funk, but blues, gospel, rock, soul and a little swing as well. Rounded out by Robert Berliner on keys and mandolin, Mike Reilly on percussion and Todd Erk on both acoustic and electric [READ ON]
