Tea Leaf Green

If you like to listen to some good jams from a few guys simply doing what they love, then I have a good feeling that you'll enjoy Tea Leaf Green. This is a band that's been around for awhile now, who continuously creates great music, and always sounds their best live. If you enjoy bands along the lines of Phish, String Cheese Incident, or Umphrey's McGee, then TLG is a solid choice for you (and as a side note, if you haven't listened to the aforementioned bands, then you should really add that to your to-do list for the week). Their sound is a smooth combination of classic rock from the Woodstock era with today's more contemporary jam bands, which essentially means it's awesome. Each album has it's own distinct personality and sound, and their newest albums show a greater level of maturity than their earlier records. But the group is at it's best when they are jamming out onstage, just having a good time. TLG's music was made for the modern day gypsy, but easy for anyone to love, and I guarantee that it will put you in a good mood for the day.
