Another fan, USA junior Cole Vayda, also approves of Tea Leaf Green's musical style. "Tea Leaf Green brings back an element of rock-n-roll that has been lost," Vayda said. While the band has a loyal following, their musical style may not keep the attention of every person to hear them. The music does tend to be fairly repetitive, and the vocals are decent but unoriginal.

Personally, I was more than ready for them to finish their set. While they have talent and the audience seemed impressed, I wondered what all the fuss was about when it came to Tea Leaf Green. There were highlights, such as Garrod's keyboard skills and steady vocals and the occasional guitar solo by Clark.

Overall, the Soul Kitchen crowd enjoyed the show. The band delivered the kind of show expected of them and will go on to play more venues in other towns. For more information about Tea Leaf Green, and some samples of their music, visit their page at http://www.myspace.com/tealeafgreen.
