The Mad Tea Party 9.29.06

The Mad Tea Party is one of Asheville's most stand-out acts to grace the stage at the Eagle. Built around the primary duo of Jason Krekel and Ami Worthen, the Tea Party's performances have been known to drive crowds into a frenzy, delivering multi-talented musical performances combined with a zany 'anything goes' attitude.This show highlighted that unpredictability rather well, as the stage quickly filled with members of the Carolina Chocolate Drops, family members, artist Phil Cheney painting in time with the music, and an audience hanging onto every last note.
The final performance of the evening featured Jason and his father sharing vocal duties, alongside members of the Reigning Sound, more family members then you could shake a stick at, and Reece (Firecracker Jazz Band, Squirrel Nut Zippers) and Jake(The Blue Rags)dueling on the Grand Piano. Another excellent performance from the MTP.
