    My Favorite Singer - Comes often to Msp/St.Paul.. want to come see him next time?? Ask me when he's coming or check his website:  www.ChrisTrapper.com  - you can hear his music there too.  :D  

    From Wikipedia:

    Chris Trapper's songs have been winning awards as well as the hearts of devoted listeners ever since his arrival on the Boston music scene in 1995. He is most widely known as the front man for the nationally acclaimed pop/rock band The Push Stars, whose "honest, heartfelt songs with timeless melodies" were described as "the kind of music that songwriters love" by Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty.

    With The Push Stars, Chris has written material for four studio albums and three self-produced discs. Several of his songs have been picked up for major motion picture soundtracks including There's Something About Mary and Say It Isn't So and for television shows such as Pepper Dennis, ER, and Malcolm in the Middle. His 2002 solo project "Songs from the Drive-In" showcased "his formidable storytelling talents," according to the Boston Phoenix.

    His second solo release, "Gone Again," serves up 11 new songs with a Dixieland flavor provided by Boston's renowned Wolverine Jazz Band. The newest release "Hey, You" is his first rock/pop solo record, featuring guest appearances by The Push Stars, Great Big Sea, Sonando, Martin Sexton, Matt Beck (Matchbox Twenty) and Duke Levine (Mary Chapin Carpenter).

    In addition to numerous Boston Music Awards, Chris Trapper received two Gold Records, a Platimun record, and the prestigious SOCAN Award twice for his songwriting work with Newfoundland's Great Big Sea. Antigone Rising covered his song "Waiting, Watching, Wishing" on their latest album release. In 2006, he filmed cameo appearances for an episode of "Pepper Dennis," the WB romantic comedy, and for "August Rush," an upcoming film with Robin Williams.

    "Boston Girl" - Great song! Chris gives a nod to Mpls/St.Paul in this song! 

    Style of an Old Irish Drinking Tune, "Keg On My Coffin", *picked especially for you John!*
