Bright, piano-led rock with a restless spirit. Melodic jams that feel like a long drive toward a West Coast sunset. Perfect for road trips and outdoor afternoons.

Tea Leaf Green emerged from the San Francisco scene in the late 1990s, quickly distinguishing themselves from the 'noodle-heavy' jam bands of the era by prioritizing tight, piano-driven rock and roll. The band's identity is defined by the dual songwriting and vocal contributions of Trevor Garrod and Josh Clark.
Garrod’s keyboard work brings a vintage, almost Elton John-esque pop sensibility to the group, while Clark’s guitar provides the psychedelic and blues-rock edge necessary for their extended live improvisations. The band has undergone significant lineup shifts, most notably in the bass position, moving from the funkier roots of Ben Chambers to the virtuosic, jazz-inflected style of Reed Mathis, and later Eric DiBerardino. Critically, they are respected for bridging the gap between the Americana/Folk world and the improvisational Rock world. Their influence is felt in the 'West Coast' jam sound, characterized by melodic accessibility and high-fidelity live performance. They remain a quintessential 'musician's band,' celebrated for their technical proficiency and consistent touring ethic.
