The Tea Party Split
Eastern inspired "Moroccan Roll" outfit The Tea Party are calling it quits after fifteen years in the business. The inevitable break-up became apparent when the band cancelled a recent spate of shows in Canada due to "personal reasons".
Throughout their prolific career the band has spawned a string of cult hits including "Heaven Coming Down," "Temptation" and "Release" and have nine albums under their belt.
Tea Party front man Jeff Martin spoke recently about the break up, or "parting ways for the foreseeable future" as he calls it. "I am deeply appreciative of all the support Tea Party fans have shown both the band and me over the years," said Martin in an official statement. "While I'm not ruling out a return of the Tea Party at some time in the future, I am focused for now on my acoustic solo record, and hope to release the new music this winter and tour in support of it."
The band recently auctioned off a collection of their equipment for Charity, which should have been a warning sign that they probably wouldn't need them much in the future. Martin has headed to Ireland with his family to work on his solo project, whilst it is not known what bass player Stuart Chatwood or drummer Jeff Burrows will move onto next.
