The West County Professional Tea Sippers' Oldtime String Band
a.k.a.
The Tea Sippers

Traditional American Old-time Music at the Rural Roots of Bluegrass

The band features harmony singing & a variety of traditional instrumentation. Their repertoire includes original songs and 20's and 30's gems: crooked Appalachian fiddle tunes, old-time country blues, songs of the Carter Family, old-time Gospel, and a few from a new cup. The band's two original songwriters capture the essence of home in California and lost love anywhere.
