NEW BERLIN – Established in 1981, with a goal to please the audience, The Woods Tea Company can be enjoyed in concert at the Unadilla Valley Central School Saturday, Oct. 3 starting at 7 p.m. This is a musical group that defies categorization with their acoustical bluegrass, Celtic tunes, sea shanties and folk songs perform all with equal ease and skill. The group draws on a wide variety of musical experience and expression. They employ as many as a dozen different instruments including banjoes and bouzoukis, guitars and bodhrán.

After building a solid reputation in New England, The Wood’s Tea Company began touring a nationwide circuit. The group performs about 120 days a year, playing at venues ranging from town greens to high school & college auditoriums, churches and from pubs to Lincoln Center, offering their diverse set of musical talents.

“Folk Music Quarterly” described them as “... one of the hottest up and coming acts,” saying “… sidestepping pretension and going for the grit, this New England group gives a lusty performance every time.”
