Jeff Martin, lead singer and guitarist of the iconic Canadian band The Tea Party, is heading to Eumundi for an intimate, seated show in The Brewery at The Imperial Hotel on Friday 1 April.
Jeff will deliver two ‘all new’ set-lists. The first set showcase songs from Jeff’s now legendary debut solo album ‘Exile and The Kingdom’, some of which have not been performed live for fifteen years. The second set will delve deep across Jeff’s other releases, taking in fan favourites, some hidden gems and new songs for good measure.
The Imperial Hotel will be the first in the world to experience this completely refreshed solo offering from Jeff Martin.
Jeff Martin’s reputation as a world-renowned live performer is well known and he has been labeled everything from “child prodigy”, “virtuoso guitarist”, and a “singer with perfect pitch”.
Jeff formed The Tea Party with his lifelong friends, Stuart Chatwood and Jeff Burrows in 1990 after many years of playing in bands together throughout their childhood.
With a career spanning over 20 years, eight major-label releases and 4 million record sales later, The Tea Party successfully gained the attention of fans worldwide, as well as touring countless times throughout Canada, the United States, Europe and Australia.
Much of the band’s success can be attributed to their phenomenal stage presence and impeccable artistry and musicianship with a wide variety of instruments and sound texture. The trio’s sound draws heavily on the rock and blues of the 1970s, as well as displaying some psychedelic influences with elements of Middle Eastern, Celtic and Mediterranean music.
In addition to his incredible career with The Tea Party, Jeff has carved out a distinctive and successful career for himself as a solo artist, various other side projects and as an acclaimed and highly sought-after producer.
His life has vastly been an exquisite journey immersing himself in many cultures and learning to play the traditional instruments from those cultures from the masters of the craft – in particular the Middle East, and subcontinents of India. His home and studio are filled with ancient instruments he’s collected on his travels – all of which he plays fluently.
A Jeff Martin show is one that moves the audience to realms like no other and many have likened his acoustic shows to ‘a religious experience’ that stays with them forever. This will be a powerful musical journey not to be missed.
