TapWater

TapWater is live World Twang band based in Portland, OR. The band released their first record in 2003. Sixteen years later, they are excited to announce the release of the newest record, Shoebox Photographs, due out on May 24th, 2019. Shoebox Photographs (along with the 2011 TapWater album, Too Dark to Blink) was produced by 6-time Grammy winner and member of Los Lobos, Steve Berlin. "I had as much fun making Shoebox Photographs with TapWater as about anything I've ever done. They are fantastic players, terrific writers, amazing singers and great people, and this new record reflects all of that and then some!" (Steve Berlin). From Seattle to San Diego, TapWater's sound colors outside the lines of Americana while bringing musical inspiration from around the globe right to your front porch or dance floor. Inspired songwriting, virtuoso musicianship, and knockout performances keep fans coming back for more. Those fans have been delighted countless times by unexpected musician/instrument cameos, homegrown humor, and even surprise Brazilian samba marches. Sixteen years later, TapWater continues to blend its sound into a swirl of highly danceable, strangely exotic music that is deeply steeped in the roots of American tradition and particularly appealing to live music lovers who have tired of mainstream pop.
