One of Canada’s biggest rock acts from the 1990s has re-formed, released a new album and is touring, with a December concert date set for Cranbrook.

On The Road Management and Productions has announced it is presenting The Tea Party (Official) at Key City Theatre on Monday, Dec. 8.

The arrival of the venerable Canadian exotic rock trio’s highly anticipated new studio album, The Ocean At The End, marks the official end of the 10‐year vacuum of fresh The Tea Party original material.

‘The Black Sea,’ a stellar track from the 11‐song‐deep effort and the electrifying tandem of Jeff Martin (vocals, guitars, producer, songwriter); Stuart Chatwood (bass, keyboards) and Jeff Burrows (drums, percussion), completes the band’s cycle of resurrection, some of the first new music heard from them since 2004’s Seven Circles and the first project since the double‐disc Live From Australia: The Reformation Tour 2012.

“The three of us probably never thought we’d be sitting here right now,” admitted Martin, whose booming baritone, emotionally candid and mystical songwriting and string‐bending guitar prowess has served as the creative catalyst for eight platinum and gold studio albums, one EP, one greatest hits collection, a live disc and over two million in global album sales.

“It’s a testament to the strength of the music that we’ve created in the past and a testament to the friendship that exists between the three of us. We had to do a lot of soul‐searching, but now the bond between the three of us is stronger,” he said.

Tickets are $38 plus tax/fees and will be available Friday, Oct 3 through the Key City Theatre box office, by phone at (250) 426-7006, or online here: https://bit.ly/TTPCranbrook

Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. Special guests have yet to be announced.
