As much as I hate to have to say this, DTEA is going to be breaking up after our current tour. We will have a final show on August 29th in our hometown of Batavia. Thank you so much to everyone who believed in us and supported us in any way. We’ve had an amazing run that we won’t ever forget.
Love,
Jonathan and DTEA
