Sounds Like: The Wookies music crosses many genres and some people say hay, you should stick to one genre, or hay, you should wear pants but we say, Why? The brave style of SoupKitchenKyle & The Wookies ties a common thread throughout the music and brings all the genres together. Some may say we sound like a cross between Louis Armstrong and Ziggy Stardust, or Woody Guthrie & The White Stripes , or Django Reinhardt meets Judas Priest. If Mark Twain, Salvador Dali, The Coen Brothers, & Bill Clinton formed a band they would probably sound like us.
