About Me

"The Boston Tea Party must have felt right at home in the Boston Music Rooms, because they delivered one of the most exceptional performances of the evening. Feeding their inspiration with blues, jazz, funk and rock, the year old band was extremely popular with the public. Quick and witty lyrics flew out of Chris' growling mouth to fuse with the burst of music created with a clever mix of a trumpet, a saxophone, guitars, a bass, keyboards, drums and even a melodica. The truly hypnotizing and professional act finished as brilliantly as it started, on an upbeat jazzy note and the screams of the audience. Enough said. Go and listen to them right now."

- Surface Unsigned Festival

"A great live act, keeping they’re crowd of supporters engaged throughout, with good vibes and infectious melodies."

- Giles Waithe, Echoes live nights
