SUMMARY:The Tea Party Live at Centre in The Square
DESCRIPTION:Multi-Platinum-selling and multi-JUNO Award-nominated trio The Tea Party return with Sunshower\, a new collection of songs that showcases the band’s signature mastery of light and shade. Featuring Jeff Martin\, Stuart Chatwood\, and Jeff Burrows\, The Tea Party has spent more than 30 years carving out a unique place in rock music. Since the release of their major-label debut Splendor Solis in 1993\, the band has become known for an innovative sound that blends powerful rock with global instrumentation and modern technology. Serving as a companion piece to 2019’s Black River\, Sunshower offers a message of hope after some of the most challenging years of the 21st century. With a legacy built on ambition\, depth\, and thought-provoking music\, The Tea Party continue to open new creative chapters while staying true to the sound that made them one of Canada’s most distinctive rock bands.
