. CHRIS TRAPPER
Chris Trapper is a modern day folk-singer whose live show is a favorite among fans of alt-acoustic music. Chris' organic understanding of classic pop melody is infectious. His on-stage persona is warm and inclusive, his songs speak to the heart and to everyday experiences. Audience members seem to particularly appreciate the lighthearted moments with the ukulele. Chris is perhaps most known for his original song This Time, the #1 selling tune on the Grammy nominated soundtrack for August Rush. Original frontman for beloved '90s alternative rock band THE PUSH STARS, Chris Trapper is equally sure-footed in his solo career with original tunes on 5 solo CDs, a variety of film and TV placements, and the distinction of having co-written the focus tracks on Fortune's Favour, the gold record from Canadian band Great Big Sea. Chris Trapper's ability to craft songs that are both elegant and accessible is evident on each CD in his deep Discography. There is a smart, honest quality to the lyrics that never panders. Chris Trapper's music can best be described as intricate power pop with a compelling knack for telling everyday stories.
After receiving a scholarship to play Division I college baseball, TJay had been pursuing a career as a professional baseball player -- playing gigs on the side to raise a little extra money. It wasn't long before crowds grew and word started to spread. From there, the choice was easy. Now, TJay is a singer/songwriter/guitarist, but don't let the singer/songwriter brand fool you. TJay's style of writing incorporates Rock/Pop with Jazz and Funk to create an independent sound with huge potential for crossover. Drawing on influences such as Blues Traveler, Steely Dan, Billy Joel, Steve Miller Band, Dave Matthews, Maroon 5, and John Mayer, TJay's music is uniquely timeless and speaks to any musical taste.
