Tea For The Voyage is a Canadian six-piece ska band that has been based in Kingston, Ontario since 2004.

The band's debut self-titled album was independently released in June of 2007 and has received critical acclaim in Ontario and the East Coast, topping several college radio charts. The album has been noted for its combination of reggae, rocksteady, ska (traditional, two-tone and third-wave), funk, punk, dixieland and classical music. Tea has just finished a second album, entitled “Gimme Dem Beets!” which will be released in March 2009. The band is currently in the process of organizing a three-week tour of Western Canada in July of this year to promote the new CD.

Tea For The Voyage has performed throughout Ontario and Quebec, received endorsement from international skateboard magazine Concrete Wave, and played several university and college events. We have also recently performed at a variety of festivals, such as the Ottawa Ska Fest, Sound of Music (Burlington), Skeleton Park Music Festival (Kingston) and the Kingston Chili Fest.
