Undergoing an extreme musical makeover from lead singer of the respected pop-rock sensation The Push Stars to an independent solo artist, Boston-based, Buffalo-born musician Chris Trapper has recently released Gone Again (Starlit Records). The album blends the songwriter’s acoustic abilities with his love for jazz. Joining the songwriter is The Wolverine Jazz Band, who help give shape to Trapper’s otherwise clean-cut sonic landscape with such instruments as the banjo, trumpet, and trombone. While struggling to create a cover to a Steely Dan song for the Me, Myself, and Irene soundtrack, Trapper remembered a street-side New Jersey jazz band from 10 years before that he thought would be perfect for the solo. He couldn’t locate the group, but he found a different jazz group for the solo and has aspired to infuse jazz into his music ever since. In the wake of Trapper’s musical conversion, he has left behind The Push Stars and The Wolverine Jazz Band to tour the Northeast as an independent soloist, hitching from one town to the next to show off his rich vocals and acoustic melodies.
