History

Alphabet Soup was formed in 2000. They performed at festivals[1][2] the Manitoba Children's Museum[3] at local events, and on CBC Radio 3. In 2008 the trio released their first album, You're It!, which was nominated for a WCMA award.[4]

Despite the venture into studio recording, as a children's band Alphabet Soup is principally a live act. Their shows include audience participation; the creation of the "Winnipeg Philharmonica" by handing out harmonicas to audience members is a common feature. Such antics, along with clear positive feedback from the attending children, led to favourable reviews in local media[3] and the group performed at a number of festivals. In addition to their musical work, Alphabet Soup support local charities such as food banks.[5]
