Tea With Warriors

Tea With Warriors is one of John Neumann's musical projects, focusing on relaxing, nature-inspired music.

John is originally from rural Western New York (snowbelt area), and has since lived in Buffalo, Kent Ohio, Conway Arkansas, Portland Oregon, and currently, Pittsburgh PA. 

Classically trained on piano and violin, John taught himself guitar and also is a lover of rock music, especially progressive rock (e.g. Yes, Genesis, King Crimson). He also enjoys little bits of everything else, and feels influenced as well by contemporary classical music.

John's musical philosophy is that music can serve many purposes in a listener's life, and he tries to imagine the circumstances of listening when he composes. His most recent work, "Niagara", is intended as a meditative appreciation of the power of nature, particularly water and sky.
