Gleefully trampling over genre boundaries for years chucking Rockabilly, Blues, Country, Swing and Soul and more into their musical gumbo, but always sounding mostly just like themselves. After a decade of honing their craft, they have never sounded so good... "That's one hot band right there!" – Huey Morgan
Well-known for their energetic live shows, and dry humour, they've toured with some of the big-name Americana outfits such as Pokey LaFarge, The Dead South, and Sierra Ferrell. They have released music on Sleazy Records (Spain) and Migraine Records (Germany), appeared multiple times on Radio 4's Loose Ends, and had their music played by everyone from Marc Riley to Huey Morgan.
The band have constantly added new flavours to their sound: Heron in particular is a vinyl obsessive, always fired up about some new passion – calypso or boogaloo or whatever this week brings – but mostly enthusing about obscure blues and country 45s, and that eclecticism and search for new sounds certainly feeds into their songs.
The upcoming album "Feet First" was recorded in just two days at Lightning Recorders in Berlin, Germany. The studio is well known for producing authentic analogue recordings, live in the room, and straight-to-tape. This 'capturing of a musical moment' can be heard in the new Tea Pad Orchestra record. The addition of Ben Powling on saxophone has also elevated the band's sound into a new and exciting era! After a decade of honing their craft, they have never sounded so good!
