"More a spectacle than a traditional two-person band, Mad Tea Party consists of vocalist and ukulele strummer Ami Worthen and guitarist, fiddler and drummer Jason Krekel. As Worthen reels out charming and quirky songs with an arch sense of humor, Krekel does double- and triple-duty, creating the illusion of a much bigger band with only two arms and two legs. It's a sight to behold...but Mad Tea Party's unique sound is just as worthy of note. A bubbly amalgam of juke-joint blues, pop, tiki exotica and rockabilly, the band has honed an approach that is unique and affecting without being too precious." - Metro Santa Cruz

.Make room in the Honky Tonk for ol' Arty Hill, driving high lonesome country into the 21st century and down the new lost highway. "BAR OF GOLD," his 2008 CD of all original tunes on the Cow Island Music label, spent TWO CONSECUTIVE MONTHS AT NO. 1 ON THE FREEFORM AMERICAN ROOTS (FAR) CHART, and continues to set the standard for Americana. As Jason Ringenberg says in the liner notes "I DOUBT THERE IS A BETTER COUNTRY RECORD PUT OUT THIS YEAR...THE GHOST OF BUCK IS TRULY HONORED."
