Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra
Described by fRoots as "Newcastle's finest swing-honkytonk-rockabilly band", Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra are ten years into a remarkable story that began with four friends, hailing from Orkney to Warwickshire, studying at Newcastle University and now sees them playing venues and festivals across the UK and mainland Europe.
Their sound draws on myriad influences – from Hank Williams to Django Reinhardt, Tom Waits to The Beatles – yet ultimately sounds like nobody else, that North Eastern Swing style that’s utterly their own and changing all the time – the band have constantly added new flavours to their sound taking their signature blend of classic country and rhythm and blues to a new level: Heron in particular is a vinyl obsessive, always fired up about some new passion – calypso or boogaloo or whatever this week brings – and that eclecticism feeds into their songs, with the newest releases adding twangy 60s guitar tones and modernist R&B styles.
