The Tea Party is a long‑running rock band originally from Windsor, Ontario, Canada that has had a major and enduring influence on rock audiences globally, including in Australia where they’ve toured extensively and released live recordings. Formed in 1990, the trio — Jeff Martin (vocals/guitar), Stuart Chatwood (bass/keys) and Jeff Burrows (drums/percussion) — crafted a distinctive sound that fuses rock with blues, Middle Eastern musical elements and progressive instrumentation, a style sometimes dubbed “Moroccan‑roll.” They released their major‑label debut Splendor Solis in 1993, followed by influential albums like The Edges of Twilight, Triptych and Seven Circles, building a loyal fanbase with cinematic, world‑inspired rock and powerful live performances. The band achieved multi‑platinum sales and numerous awards nominations, and is known for hits such as “Heaven Coming Down,” “Temptation” and *“The Bazaar.” After disbanding in the mid‑2000s, they reformed and continue to record and tour, including Australia tours in 2026 with orchestral and rock variations celebrating their career and expansive sound.
