The Tea Party livens up a Tuesday night in the Okanagan

Okanagan rock fans of all ages were treated to a spectacular display of musicality and showmanship on Tuesday night as The Tea Party returned to the Kelowna Community Theatre stage.

Touring in support of their latest releases, the legendary Canadian group brought their unique breed of "Moroccan Roll" to Kelowna, and left their audience stunned.

Equipped with a decade-spanning setlist that featured everything from current chart-topper "Black River" to 1993's "Way Way Down" — and of course, massive hits like "Heaven Coming Down" and "Temptation — the group delivered a show for fans who have been with them throughout their entire career.

In proper Tea Party fashion, the trio brought the fire with their impeccable instrumentalism, sounding just as raw and powerful as they did in the early years.

Frontman Jeff Martin truly outperformed my wildest expectations. As a self-proclaimed Led Zeppelin superfan, I have to admit I was doubtful about the numerous comparisons between him and Robert Plant or Jimmy Page, but I did see definite glimpses of the two throughout the set.

With a poised and sultry Plant-esque stage presence (equipped with the signature hand wave and all), in addition to his immense prowess with an axe, it is safe to say I'm looking forward to catching them on their 30th Anniversary Tour next year.

Tagging along as support was Winnipeg-bred band, The Proud Sons.

Known for their chilling vocal harmonies and southern rock roots, the band may not initially seem like a good fit, but once the quintet hit the stage it was a different story.

Catchy riffs, infectious courses and undoubtedly talented with their instruments, the group gave off Skynyrd vibes, combined with a little bit of a Stones feel, proving they've got the chops to support one of Canada's most adored rock groups.
