In the song list below, you will find "play" links to listen to most of the songs. "About" links take you to lyrics and descriptions. More live recordings and videos are available on the Past Dates page.
Contact us by email: tom@tomzap.com. We would love to play at your party or venue and will do so at a price you can afford. We do not use instrument amplifiers and we use electronic drums so we are capable of playing at either very low or high volumes, and we are only 3 or 4 people so we don't need much room.
T-Shirts: We have T-shirts in sizes from S to 3XL, This is a quality T-shirt, 100% cotton, heavy. US$10. Shipping is included in the continental U.S. US$12 if shipped to Canada.
Insulated Mugs: We got a supply of these because this style is getting hard to find. This is a quality 20 oz. insulated mug made in the U.S.A., in Texas. This is the cup that Tom likes because it has a nice, wide base that doesn't tip over while your rockin'. It will also accept a drink can. Tomzap insulated mugs are available at live performances for $5.
