Performing lively shows filled with original material in the vein of their influences; various roots music ranging to bluegrass, blues, classic jazz, motown, swing, folk, and acoustic rock. The shows themselves are unique, THICK SOUP NEVER PERFORMS THE SAME SET TWICE, filled with medley's and instrumental seques to keep everyone entertained and the music flowing. Every show is different enticing people to return for multiple shows in a row knowing each is unique.
