Canadian guitarist and singer-songwriter best known for
fronting the rock band The Tea Party, Jeff Martin will be in Istanbul
on March 19th, 2010.
Forming The Tea Party in 1990,
Martin produced all of The Tea Party's albums, including their
eponymous debut album in 1991, distributing it through the band's own
label Eternal Discs. In 1993 The Tea Party signed to EMI Music Canada
and released their first major label recording entitled Splendor Solis.
Martin employed open tunings to imitate Indian instruments such as the
sitar, something he has continued to employ throughout his career.
Further developing The Tea Party's sound in 1995 The Edges of Twilight
was recorded with an array of Indian and Middle-eastern instrumentation
while Martin drew lyrical inspiration from occult themes and pagan
influenced literature.
Martin began his career as a solo artist
in October 2005, when The Tea Party disbanded due to creative
differences. After his debut solo album Exile and the Kingdom was
published he formed The Armada, in the early 2008. The band's album
features a similar sound to the Tea Party.
