WORLD TWANG IS HERE!!!

About Me

We call our style of music WORLD TWANG.... maybe it's because we can't
say AFRO-GYPSY HONKY-TONK ZYDE-GRASS when we're drunk, it usually
sounds like AZZA-HIZZY-FONK-A-ZONK-A-GA-GA. So..... WORLD TWANG
it is! Come see our live show and let us know what YOU think...... ENJOY!
-Present-
TapWater just recorded and released their third album, Dirt Road Rendezvous (reviewed this issue), a priceless souvenir of this recent "Traveling TapWater" period. They came off the road early this winter with more than they bargained for: The impetus to cut this momentous live record in 13 hours, and, during the Northern California leg of the tour, they had met the dual rhythm section of Simon (drums, percussion) and Rudy (percussion), who as of this writing have just arrived in San Diego to begin their new lives in TapWater. The band will be hard at work integrating the new recruits and redefining their sound once again, getting Simon and Rudy up to speed via local shows until around May when they hit the road for their summer/fall U.S. tour.
-Destiny-
TapWater just wants to be able to do what they love—comfortably and sustainably touring the world—for a living, while simultaneously making a positive difference in the communities they visit. Our goal is to harness this ability to build and empower a kind, motivated community to make a big difference in our country. We donate free shows to groups who we think really need it; we have played women's shelters, convalescent homes, and nonprofits for the mentally and physically challenged...Our vision is for TapWater to be a premier community resource, just like what comes out of your sink. We aim to connect every household together, lift up their spirits, and work to create the world that we all know is possible."
