Swamp Tea is the debut album by renowned San Francisco bay area guitarist Stef Burns. The nine tracks comprising the CD contains songs with beautiful guitar melodies and powerful playing. Unlike typical shredding rock guitar albums, Stef has created and produced an album replete with soulful tunes ("Summer Of '68", "Echo Lake", "Quello Che Fai"), atmospheric forays ("Swamp Tea"), and tunes demonstrating a rock fusion edge ("Walking the Penguin", "Wayfunner" "Alligator Pie"). Swamp Tea also features the talents of amazing collaborators such as drummers Narada Michael Walden (Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jeff Beck, Weather Report), Steve Smith (Journey, Vital Information), Deen Castronovo (Bad English, Ozzy Osborne), and Jimmy DeGrasso (Y&T, Megadeth), keyboardists John Seppala and Frank Martin, bassists Myron Dove (Santana, Robben Ford, Benny Reitveld (Miles Davis, Santana) and Marc Russo (Yellow Jackets).
