Mad Tea Party brews up roots music, retro-pop and rock 'n' roll to create a fresh and intoxicating sound. Ami Worthen and Jason Krekel serve up an exciting live show to music lovers thirsty for offbeat, original refreshment. Quirky harmonies glide over electrified ukulele, juke-joint guitar, scratchy fiddle and pulsing foot percussion. Songs about love, life, death and dancing are steeped in raw rockabilly with shreds of doo wop and devilish blues. Mad Tea Party concocts a musical recipe that is familiar yet unusual.
The All Music Guide describes Mad Tea Party as "Americana for the modern generation. Shreds of ragtime, tatters of R&B, touches of blues, bursts of rockabilly, slivers of C&W, tinges of hillbilly hoe-downs, lashes of pop, snippets of rock, a feathering of folk, and even... the hurdy-gurdy sound of the circus."
Mad Tea Party's amusing and sharp approach to an evolved brand of music makes them one-of-a-kind. Their sense of humor and irony appeals to savvy listeners who appreciate the band's cleverness and cheerful energy. Drink deep!
"Hilariously authentic jump-jazz-jive." -Relix Magazine
"Asheville-based Mad Tea Party is the next generation of wacky, retro-steeped Carolina bands, following in the footsteps of Squirrel Nut Zippers and Southern Culture on the Skids." -Charlotte Observer
