TAPWATER "Smiling Balloon"

This is Tapwater– they are the band that’s going to play at our wedding. They’re friends with our friend Lisa, who knew them down in San Diego and they moved to Portland last summer.

Lisa asked them to come play at Kira and Morgan’s 31st birthday party, out at Kira’s boyfriend’s organic farm.

Here’s a picture of them playing at the farm:

We all had such a blast dancing to the music. Plus, their instruments include a stand up bass, a steel drum, a fiddle, some regular drums, some guitar-y stuff, and, if I’m remembering correctly, some kind of brass instrument.

Its like all of the world’s coolest instruments in one band.

Now, I wonder if they have time to learn all the lyrics to Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors…?
