Sound Bites Lunchtime Series Presents:
Toys and Tiny Instruments Band
June 30, 2010

The Sound Bites lunchtime series comes to a close with one of the more intriguing acts the stage on Pier 17 has ever seen. As their name implies, these folks do indeed play toy and tiny instruments, but this is not greasy kids stuff. Using kazoos, plastic pianos and other novelties, Toys and Tiny Instruments Band make serious music in a not-so-serious way, with songs that you'll be humming after just one listen. This is pop music with all the bells and whistles. Grab a burger and a lemonade from one of our food carts and check out the band in a perfect lunchtime atmosphere.

hours: Noon to 2pm.
location: Pier 17
