Bill "Tappy" Tapia has lived his life as a Hawaiian and Jazz Entertainer for over 85 years and still remains one of the hardest, longest working musicians under the radar. Along with his chops, charm, keen taste in fashion and love of cars comes his flawless mind and sense of humor.
A performer since World War I, Bill has embarked on perhaps the unlikeliest comeback ever over the past few years. His first 2 CDs have scored top 10 on the CMJ Jazz Charts and he continues to sellout shows all over the West Coast and Hawai'i. For this event Bill will be accompanied by a four piece Jazz band, hula dancers and other very special guests! Don’t miss out on this rare show!

"As delightful as it is surprising... Tapia's 86+ year career includes jams with long-gone pioneers of American music, including Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday & Fats Waller.
...Tapia takes his rightful place alongside these greats." - BILLBOARD MAGAZINE
