Alphabet Soup Children's Entertainment (commonly referred to as Alphabet Soup or simply Soup) is a Canadian children's band based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Formed in 2000, the group gained prominence through appearances at festivals,[1][2] the Manitoba Children's Museum[3] and on CBC Radio 3.[4] Their first album, the WCMA-nominated [5] You're It!, was released in December 2008.
Despite the venture into studio recording, as a children's band Alphabet Soup is principally a live act. Shows are highly participatory, and 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, have led to favourable reviews in local media[3] and cemented their position on the festival circuit. In addition to their musical work, Alphabet Soup support local charities such as food banks.[6]
