Following the 2005 release of their critically acclaimed album,
Taught to be Proud, Tea Leaf Green toured North America becoming
one of the most exciting and fastest growing rock bands today. Busting
out of a revitalized San Francisco music scene, the group has honed
their strength as both songwriters and improvisers to catapult to
the next level, keeping audiences screaming for more.
Thanks to their dedicated and connected fan base, the band has
gone from playing small bars to large theatres in just a few short
years by consistently delivering fresh, mind-blowing live performances.
After winning the Song of the Year Jammy award for Taught to be
Prouds title track, the road warriors plowed ahead with sold out
shows in many major markets including Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago,
Atlanta, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, New York and, most notably,
the historic Fillmore Auditorium in their hometown of San Francisco,
CA. The bands chops earned the respect of their musical contemporaries
as 2006 also found the band opening for the Dave Mathews Band, Trey
Anastasio, Govt Mule, and Bruce Hornsby.
Their latest release, Rock 'n' Roll Band (released October 31,
2006, on SCI Fidelity Records), captures lightning in a bottle.
Available separately in both CD & DVD formats, the film joins
the band for an evening performance at The Fox Theater in Boulder,
Colorado and offers an intimate look at a day in the life of a young
rock band on the rise. For the DVD, director Justin Kreutzmann,
son of The Grateful Deads Billy Kreutzmann, provides both a snapshot
of where the band is today and clear evidence of where they are
headed tomorrow. Part concert film, part documentary, Rock 'n' Roll
Band balances blazing live performances with private moments of
artful reflection and presents the magic that is Tea Leaf Green
for all to enjoy. Just one viewing will be enough to assure you
that rock 'n' roll never died.
For those new to Tea Leaf Green, Rock 'n' Roll Band, serves as
the perfect introduction to a group capable of producing beautiful,
timeless works like One Reason and Faced with Love that show off
their versatile songwriting abilities. Longtime fans will appreciate
the bands mastery of inspired, transcendent improvisation, as evidenced
by the triumphant versions of Jezebel and Devils Pay. The CD offers
the same epic Fox Theatre show in audio-only format.
Honoring a long lineage of rock bands that have come before them,
Tea Leaf Green pays tribute to the past while carving a distinct
name for themselves today. Its refreshing to have something to look
forward to.
