Isak Thomas and The Stoop Boys (SXSW)

4.7

Head to Zilker Brewing Co. for an electrifying night with **Isak Thomas and The Stoop Boys**, the soul/funk collective bringing their groovy vibes straight from Austin and Nashville roots!

Founded in 2017 by Isak 'Thomas' Kotecki on keys, guitar, and vocals, this crew started jamming in Boston with music school pals Connor Frawley on bass and John Cattini shredding lead guitar. Inspired by '70s soul, funk, and rock, they've dropped three EPs, two albums, racked up millions of streams, and snagged spots like KUTX's Song of the Day.

Everyone rotates as writer and vocalist, with Isak producing the magic.
Latest album 'The Stoop Boys' welcomes drummer Armando Baeza and percussionist Logan 'Wildman' Garza.
Their sound? Music that feels like yesterday, hits like today, and sticks with you tomorrow.

Grab your badges or wristbands for priority access at this official event on East 6th Street—perfect for sipping brews while grooving to live soul and funk!
