Just Shannon and his Uke (Jenny) and friends who would get together after a hard work week. Today, PAU HANA BAND is still Shannon, Jenny and their good friends. Many people have been part of PAU HANA. They will never be forgotten and are always welcome. Their contributions to the PAU HANA movement are etched in Island Music history.

For Shannon and the rest of us, MUSIC is just one of those things. So if you ever want to come jam out and relax just hit us up, we get together every week!

TapWater is an American jam rock experience out of San Diego that blends rock, funk, latin, jazz, bluegrass, country, blues, and pop into darn good music. While their influences range from Pink Floyd and Willie Nelson to Tito Puente and Stevie Wonder, TapWater’s sound captures the smooth sophistication of Steely Dan, the vibrant color of the Grateful Dead, and the feelgood flavor of the Doobie Brothers. “Musically we are curious,” acknowledges Steve Moore, who sings lead vocals and plays guitar and banjo. “We shape each genre into a song, then add two tablespoons of rock to it -- just enough to sweeten the sound for most everyone to enjoy.”
