Tapajenga (Jennifer)

When these grey, dreary days start to linger, you want music to match that mood and wrap around you like a blanket. Tapajenga are a band who fit that description. The songs on their 2013 (yes, I’m playing catch up) EP, Months Pass By, are an appropriate soundtrack to a foggy, gloomy weekend. Melancholy strings, hushed piano notes, and soft, soothing vocals come together to provide comfort on sad, wintery days. You can also hear a glimmer of hope and optimism between the sad notes knowing the sunnier days of spring will be here soon. You can catch their next show at Radio Coffee and Beer on March 18 with fellow folk and pop influenced bands, The Deer and Marmalakes.
