| 05.25.10 | Mrs. Hobbs & Ketchup Soup in the News "Accordion diva Mrs. Hobbs has a new project — a collaboration with singer/songwriter Lovemando called Ketchup Soup, in which her penchant for torchy, slightly surreal, old-timey French jazz-inspired numbers finds a sympathetic, if slightly more gritty, urban counterpart. Together they compose and interpret music with an arresting, romantic, and slightly noir vision of the modern bohemian cabaret." - Shana Nys Dambrot, Flavorpill |
