Two Loons For Tea

Two Loons for Tea is a duo consisting of singer Sarah Scott and instrumentalist Jonathan Kochmer. The duo came together when Switzerland-born Kochmer moved to Seattle after spending years studying biostatistics and evolutionary biology. Scott, who was originally from San Francisco, moved to Washington after a lifetime filled with music due to her parents' ties to the California rock scene. After arriving in Seattle, the two met through a mutual friend and began performing Kochmer's original material while starting to write with one another. After performing together in various outfits throughout the '90s, the two eventually became Two Loons for Tea in 1999 and continued to perpetuate their working relationship. Their first album was an eponymous release in 2001, mostly made up of material they had been working on for years. The second album, 2002's Looking for Landmarks, was more immediate and was the result of their writing on the road while promoting the first album. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide
