Philadelphia’s soulful folk masters Hoots And Hellmouth are set to visit a West Coast town near you this week! The band is on the road in support of their recent LP, The Holy Open Secret, out now on MAD Dragon Records (the same folks that just released Swimmers‘ album). Tonight they hit LA after which they will make their way up the coast to Seattle before heading east.

A clever mix of roots-based folk mashed fronted by vocals inundated with soul, The Holy Open Secret is Hoots And Hellmouth’s viable follow-up to their debut self-titled LP from 2007. “Known For Possession” comes from the new album. Check it out below, along with the band’s West Coast dates:
