Profile

Druid Sisters Tea Party is a rollicking light-hearted all-girl groove Celtic-funk dance band with tons of fun in mind. Claudia Paige, the drummer/songwriter, has been playing drums since she was 8 years old. When Claudia was about 12, her mother (who ran a nightclub) woke her up in the middle of the night asking her to sit in with a major rock band whose drummer was "unable"...thus, "The Claw" was created. The Claw has played with members of The Grateful Dead and other major rock bands while still really young, as well as recently touring with Linda Perry (Pink, Christina Aguilera). She is one of the best drummers on the West Coast and is sought after for recording by lots of major bands.

The Sisters is Claudia's baby, and she started the project with the idea of mixing African and tribal beats with Celtic fiddle in a sort of Afro-Celt manner but going all organic, a sort of "Jungle Gypsy" feel. The crisp drumming, the tribal beats, and the Celtic jigs, are all based on solid grooves instead of straight ahead rock four-four.

Cyoakha Grace, vocals, harmonium, keys, is one of the original sisters and joined the Tea Party from her World-Trance band, Land of the Blind, where she produced 3 award-winning CDs and toured the US. She adds a dreamy "Kate Bush" feel, adding a touch of Goth-Trance to the lively mix.

Kathy, on the fiddle, moves from traditional jigs to dreamy Middle-Easterny licks and adds a tightness and a fun lightness new to the world of Celtic rock bands.

Trish, arriving from the hip-hop scene, with acoustic and electric guitar, moves and matches Kathy as second melody instrument, adds new feels into the Celtic mix, such as folk with sweet acoustic parts, funky bass lines and psychedelic swirling electric guitar.
