Tea For Julie

As indicated by my playlist and previous posts, I love the Portland/Seattle music scene. I'm blessed to live in an alternative Mecca. Latest pilgrimage was Friday night 11/28/08 at the Crystal Ballroom. Headliner was an Alabama band, Wild Sweet Orange, which rocked for sure, although between songs they didn't seem into it. They had a great excuse, though - they admitted on stage that they were seriously sleep deprived . . . understandable. And WSO's music was excellent.

However, the supporting act stole the show for me. Tea For Julie was new to me, but I'm officially hooked now. I judge a live act not for music alone, but for stage presence, and these guys have it. They were humble, and gave the impression that they still appreciate each and every gig they play. The music is inspiring. Check them out: http://www.myspace.com/teaforjulie.
