The Tea Party, the multi-Platinum selling, multi-JUNO Award-nominated, original trio consisting of singer/guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Jeff Martin; bassist and multi-instrumentalist Stuart Chatwood; and drummer/percussionist Jeff Burrows, has returned fresh from their headlining Fall 2025 tour with Headstones and Finger Eleven, celebrating the 25th anniversary of their chart-topping album TRIPtych, (featuring their #1 Single Heaven Coming Down).

Other key tracks include The Messenger, Temptation, Sister Awake, The Bazaar, The River, Psychopomp, Fire In The Head, plus many more. Spotify lists 145,582 – 149,084 monthly listeners, testifying to The Tea Party’s ongoing appeal and staying power.

Since releasing their major-label debut album Splendor Solis in 1993, The Tea Party has come to be regarded as one of the world’s most innovative alternative rock bands, with a sound that incorporates everything from traditional instrumentation from around the globe, to cutting-edge digital technology. Now, after more than 30 years as a band—and over 3million albums sold, The Tea Party is ready to open a new chapter in its saga—a story that remains rooted in the goal to create new, ambitious, and thought-provoking music.

Regarded as a progressive rock band, The Tea Party's style fuses "blues, industrial rock, and psych-blasted progressive rock with Middle Eastern influences." Tuonela magazine described the band's style as "a very emotive style of alternative rock, with hints of grunge and even some touches of oriental music".

Not to be confused with the US political movement, The Tea Party since added the phrase "No politics... Just Rock and Roll" to their website.
