Since forming The Tea Party in 1990, Martin produced all of The Tea Party's albums, including their eponymous debut album in 1991. He became the youngest producer for the iconic EMI label with “Splendor Solis” (“The River” and “Save Me”). The Tea Party recorded eight albums on EMI Music, selling almost 4 million records worldwide, won multiple awards and achieved a No. 1 Canadian single with “Heaven Coming Down” in 1999.
During the six year hiatus when The Tea Party disbanded in 2005, JEFF MARTIN moved to Australia and developed a successful career as a solo artist. He released three studio albums, “Exile and The Kingdom”, “The Armada” and “The Ground Cries Out” as well as three live releases, “Live in Brisbane”, “Live in Dublin” and “Live at the Enmore Theatre” (DVD). The Tea Party reunited in 2011 for a series of shows in their native Canada and the success of these dates led to The Tea Party reforming permanently.
Martin’s life has been a vast, exquisite journey whereby he has unashamedly immersed himself in a myriad of cultures and learned to play the traditional instruments of those cultures from the masters of the craft… in particular the Middle East, and sub continents of India. His home and studio are filled with ancient and exotic instruments collected during his travels; all of which he plays fluently.
In his solo shows, Jeff will be performing the best of The Tea Party plus an array of his solo offerings and a few newly found treasures which will bring back a lot of what The Tea Party makes so special… rock ‘n roll, the blues, the mystique, the Indian and Middle Eastern influences - in a nutshell: the magic!
