Two Loons for Tea live at the Triple Door's Musiquarium

Two Loons For TEA, was it good for you too???

Last night at the Triple Door Musiquarium, this group called Two Loons for Tea described paradise through each tune of their two luminous sets. I was literally taken away to the most beautiful place I've ever been. I was like a young man in love and there was no way out. At the start of the show, I was literally concerned that I would not be able relax enough to enjoy the music. By the second song, all that tension melted away like ice. Two Loons for Tea is the sound of an Australian sunset. The fact that Two Loons for Tea isn't yet a Grammy award winner is a straight up crime.

Their live performance works inconspicuously outside the realm of many musical genres, namely Jazz, Blues and Electronica. There was so much soul in the room, truly moving compositions that created a place for every instrument to shine. Singer Sarah Scott and guitarist Jonathan Kochmer make up Two Loons for Tea. They were accompanied by a bassist, a vibe player and drummer Jay Hoots (I was able to get his name). Sarah Scott's voice is sultry and beautiful and uniquely her own, but her presence reminded me of a young Lena Horne. The band moved from the past to the present with complete confidence. It was like listening to a blend of the Roots, Lionel Hampton and Goldfrapp all at once. One minute I was in Philly, then in Sydney and finally back in Seattle. Yes, it was paradise and so I ask again, was it good for you too?

Two Loons for Tea plays beautiful, heady music that indeed makes you feel like you are on a trip, to a beach on Australia's Gold Coast or elsewhere!

Don't miss this dream-pop band, or you will wake up one day regretting it!

Two Loons for Tea is one of my go-to iPod choices, and their sound is even better in person. Always an enjoyable evening.
