Wood's Tea Company
is an acoustic group that performs fiery Celtic tunes, bluegrass,
sea shanties, and American folk songs with ease and skill. During
a performance they use as many as a dozen different instruments,
including banjos and bouzoukis, guitars and bodhrans, and traditional
tin whistles. Folk legend Woody Guthrie was an early inspiration
for the band.
Folk Music Quarterly
described them as "... one of the hottest up and coming acts,"
saying " ... sidestepping pretension and going for the grit,
this New England group gives a lusty performance, every time."
A few years ago, the Irish Heritage Foundation honored the group
with their "Outstanding Innovation Award " in appreciation
and recognition for their creative contributions to Irish music.
