The Country Music Goodness blog recently posted a review of the Mad Tea Party and Southern Culture on the Skids show at the Grey Eagle. Don’t let the first sentence put you off, it gets nicer…
“I hate ukuleles. You see, as a mandolin player many has been the time when I have had the poorly-informed but well-intentioned praise me for my ukulele playing. SO it was with great foreboding that I watched the quirky ‘ukabilly’ duo Mad Tea Party take the stage in support of Southern Culture on the Skids last Friday November seven.
But you know what? It was good. Damn good. Comprised of Ami Worthen on electric uke and Jason Krekel on vocals, juke-joint guitar, fiddle, and foot percussion, the duo manages to sound like a lot more than a duo. Whether bashing out ironic originals about growing up in the 80s or rockabilly classics like John Lee Hooker’s ’Boogie Children’ or Hasil Adkin’s ‘Chicken Walk’, Mad Tea Party gave their audience a rollicking forty minute set that made us all glad we had arrived early. I never got any tea though.” – Joseph Scott, Country Music Goodness
I totally think you should start serving tea…or maybe just sell MTP-labeled tea bags.
You mean people actually read what I write? I’m going to have to start being more careful. Or go mad with power. Meh, six of one, half a dozen of the other.
I Vote for the labled tea bags.
Of course, I also think the mad with power thing sounds good. Go ahead, do it all.
BTY, I’ll take 6 and a half dozen donuts please…
