The members of Tea Cup Gin share a passion for crafting catchy musical cocktails under the influence of an eclectic blend of 20th century musical genres. The band stirs together unique melodies and lyrics, served up on two blazing guitars, with impassioned vocals, dynamic bass & percussion, and occasional guests on trombone, trumpet, violin, sax, blues harp, piano & more.
Tea Cup Gin has three full original albums under our belts, streaming on all platforms, plus a repertoire of over 400 cover tunes spanning a century of genres and styles from the 1920s to the 2020s! We curate distinctive set lists customized to each occasion, in highly interactive and energetic performances, executed with stellar musicianship.
Why the name “TEA CUP GIN”? During prohibition, speakeasies served bootleg gin in ordinary tea cups to hide what was inside. Although the band’s original songs may look innocent enough on the outside, you’ll soon taste a deliciously intoxicating blend of unexpected ingredients. “Tea Cup Gin” evokes vintage influences, while being catchier than saying “you can’t judge a book by the cover!”
