Trapper to play The Burren in Somerville  to close out the winter leg of tour

Chris said this about his new collection, “I have to mention Jason, the producer of Symphonies of Dirt & Dust. He is my old friend, who not only worked the clubs in rock bands but also worked for Geffen records in their heyday, so he has a good sense of the music business as a whole. What I love about Jason is that he is absolutely obsessed with his craft and getting songs right.

“Every record tells a story. For me, much more than gimmicks, my albums are like diary entries, or truthful accounts of where I’m at in life. I suppose that might be the same for most songwriters, but in the spectrum of the music business, it’s still an animal that’s nearly extinct.” Chris Trapper

Chris Trapper is the personification of the traveling troubadour.  He is one man with one guitar touring the world and winning fans as he goes.  He has traveled extensively in the US and will continue this tradition.

The tour started in late October (please see the following tour dates), Chris will make stops in Phoenix, LA, San Diego, San Francisco, Syracuse, Boston and more.   Trapper’s live show is a favorite among fans of alt–acoustic music. His on–stage persona is warm and inclusive, his organic understanding of classic pop melody, infectious. Audience members seem to particularly appreciate the lighthearted moments with the ukulele.  Check out this particularly poignant version of the Birthday Song, The Birthday Song

As a singer /songwriter, Chris is most known for his original song This Time from August Rush the #1 selling song on the Grammy nominated soundtrack for AUGUST RUSH (Robin Williams, Jonathan Rhys Meyers /Warner Bros Pictures). His music can best be described as lyrically driven roots-pop with a knack for telling everyday stories.

The New York Times has called his work “classic pop perfection.”

Most recently, the title track from the Pierce Brosnan/Salma Hayek, vehicle, Some Kind of Beautiful featured Chris’s songwriting talent.
