About Me

Well here is TAP, a special band of friends who play music written and recorded by Toby Allan Penner. Most of the songs are quite sad, but we'd like to think that they have some perspective too. We'd like to think of them as sad without being depressing. ............................................................ ...........................................................T oby's sort of theory about life is that it's cool to feel things, even saddness. Really, he supports intense feelings of any kind. It's just that sad ones happen to make the best songs, at least for him. ............................................................ ...........................................................T AP enjoys playing simple vast melodic music, long walks on the beach, and talking about their feelings. In songs, not in real life as much. ............................................................ ...........................................................
