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).
