Stephen Kellogg

March 2025

A Stephen Kellogg performance is like watching Ted Lasso live. Whether he’s playing music or doing stand-up, his shows leave people inspired and restored. For more than two decades, this wordsmith, Tedx speaker, stand-up comic, author and troubadour, has delighted audiences around the world. Planet Bluegrass calls him “a first class songwriter with a poet's gift for fresh imagery,” and Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz says of Kellogg, “there are few people in rock n’ roll who are just so great.” He has received the Armed Forces Entertainer of the Year award and has had his work nominated for a Grammy. Rolling Stone magazine describes his sound as “John Prine fronting the Heartbreakers.” The recent “Sit Down & Stand Up” Tour was a one man show that opened to rave reviews from fans and critics alike, culminating in a two-night filming for a forthcoming one-hour comedy special. A mix of music, humor and storytelling, each performance paints a unique canvas that covers the full spectrum of human emotions. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll go home with a full heart.

Grammy nominated singer-songwriter Chris Trapper has traveled the world over, performing to a dedicated and ever growing fan base with nothing but his guitar and his songs. Raised on Prine and Kristofferson, Trapper's first foray in the music industry was as frontman of the critically acclaimed alt-rock band The Push Stars (Capitol Records). Over the past decade, Chris has become a modern day acoustic troubadour, performing over 150 dates a year as a headliner and sharing the stage with the likes of Rob Thomas, Pat Benatar and even John Prine himself.

Chris’s newest record “Watching Sparks Fly By” is his 12th full length solo album and was released on March 11th, 2025. The Boston based troubadour employed multiple producers to bring 13 brand new tracks to life (plus 3 bonus tracks including a studio version of the fan favorite “Keg On My Coffin”). Highlights include the first single “Campfire Symphony”, the G. Love collaboration “Swept Away” and the gentle ballad “Toast To Us” featuring rock and roll hall of famer Pat Benatar.

A favorite of Hollywood's music supervisors, Chris's songs have appeared in such films as "The Devil Wears Prada", "There's Something About Mary" and his song "This Time" was the number one selling song on the Grammy nominated soundtrack for "August Rush" (Robin Williams, Jonathan Rhys Meyers).
