The time is finally here to purchase your tickets to Bill Tapia's 100th Birthday Celebration and Show (the OFFICIAL Birthday Celebration on the Mainland!)... Click this link for more information: http://panioloproductions.com/TapiaEmail001.html Hawaiian and Jazz entertainer, Bill “Tappy” Tapia will celebrate his 100th birthday and nine decades in music with only one Mainland performance! Sunday, November 18, 2007 - 7:00pm Reserved Seats - $35.00 TICKETS NOW ON SALE! Bill "Tappy" Tapia has lived his life as an 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. "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 http://www.billtapia.com |

I don't know about "unlikely comebacks". This man is simply amazing and can play any instrument. Yesterday morning I was at his house, and he had a steel guitar set up with a small amp. We did an impromptu jam seesion in between his appointments, which he has all morning long. He can play that steel guitar better then anyone! |
