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.

With one of the most recognizable voices in Canadian music history, alternative rock band Crash Test Dummies are a 3-time Grammy nominated and JUNO Award-winning group, who soared to the top of the worldwide charts in the early-90’s with hits “Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm” and “Superman’s Song”. Their cover of “The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead” was a highlight of the soundtrack to the blockbuster film, “Dumb and Dumber”, while simultaneously reaching #4 on the US Top 100 album charts. All of their releases keep the same folk-hued, alternative spirit of their early sound, centering around the distinct baritone of frontman Brad Roberts and Ellen Reid’s folk-rock fusion.

After a twenty-year hiatus, the Crash Test Dummies reunited in 2018 for a two-week tour to celebrate their most successful album “God Shuffled His Feet”. The overwhelming reception to these shows led to continuous touring across two continents, with sold-out shows across the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands.

The band returns to the UK in fall 2026 for an extensive tour, then an extensive West Coast of Canada Swing—including Vernon’s own VDPAC--to end 2026 before heading “down under” for a return tour of Australia in early 2027, following their sold-out shows in 2025!

The dynamic and high-energy stage show features the band’s most iconic songs, performed by original members Brad Roberts, Ellen Reid, Dan Roberts and Mitch Dorge. Joining them are long-standing guitarist Stuart Cameron and relative newcomer Leith Fleming-Smith, Canada’s keyboard whiz-kid.

Special Guest Logan Richard is one of music’s rarest creatures—a compelling and diverse songwriter who also shreds. This PEI-born-and-based artist has built his reputation as a deft, genre-fluid songsmith and peerless hired gun for some of Canada’s most exciting musicians. His new full-length, “Character Traits”, collects the undeniable evidence of Richard’s talents under his own name as he navigates slick pop, spacey R&B, and soulful folk.
