Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Give a Hoot

As front man Sean Hoots puts it, Philadelphia’s Hoots and Hellmouth trade in “new music for old souls.” That’s a succinct description for the acoustic trio’s devilish spin on plucky Americana, which conjures elements of roots and old-time and, well, old soul. Touring behind their delightfully scruffy new album, The Holy Open Secret, the band makes a stop at Club Metronome on Wednesday, December 2.
