High Tea

High Tea

  • Indie Folk

High Tea, the indie folk-rock duo hailing from Massachusetts, is a concoction of sweepingly soulful harmonies, guitar riffs to knock your socks off, and a refreshing blend of old blues and new rock. Isabella DeHerdt and Isaac Eliot have come together to fill spaces with homegrown storytelling and Lumineers-esque vocals. Their songs are ripe with Americana heartbreak, and tell tales of growing up, going wild, and always coming back to the ones you love.

Their previous release, Old Cowboy, was featured on playlists, radio shows, and publications like The Boston Globe, The Greenfield Recorder (among others). Its title track led them to be chosen as one of WBUR’s top 4 Massachusetts Tiny Desk entries of 2022. Their upcoming release, The Wick And The Flame, blends the ambience of groups akin to Bonny Light Horseman with harmonies reminiscent of Crosby, Stills, and Nash, instrumentals that evoke memories of The White Stripes, and stories which build on the folkloric lineage of iconic writers such as the Indigo Girls – creating a new sound wholly unique to High Tea.

The Wick And The Flame weaves a complex web, exploring the push and pull between passion and solitude, acknowledging and celebrating our need for both a supportive community and brutally honest reflection. The opening track, “The Tale of Billy & The Void”, confronts the abyss with a hearty, boot-stomping acceptance. “Made for Two” celebrates the joy of companionship, while “Crash” pleads, longingly, for the same. “Wine” tells the story of a person escaping their troubles to be someone else’s vice, while “Love Potion” treads cautiously, trying to resist such a sensual pull.

Whether it’s swelling melodies or smooth harmonies, bluesy guitar licks or the driving beat of a bass drum, High Tea writes from the heart, and their songs are rooted in intimate personal experience yet strive to find the universal understandings of life that all audience members will be able to connect with. They invite listeners into their lives, and the worlds they’ve created. Come sit by the fire and find a piece of yourself in the music of High Tea.
