| Chris Trapper - 'Gone Again' Chris Trapper, frontman for Boston's Push Stars, releases second solo CD Gone Again with Boston's own Wolverine Jazz Band. The new disc boasts an impressive and eclectic collection of 11 new, original tunes. Gone Again combines Chris' vocal stylings with a New Orleans-inspired jazz backdrop provided by Boston's own Wolverine Jazz Band. Chris was honored when the band expressed an interest in his tunes and immediately set aside time to rehearse and record. Chris hopes Gone Again will introduce these wise and experienced trad jazz musicians to today's younger pop music buyers. For many years, throughout Boston and southern New England, the Wolverine Jazz Band has been entertaining devotees of traditional and Dixieland jazz. Their musical contribution to Chris Trapper's Gone Again is remarkable and instantly memorable. The CD was recorded 'live' without computer technology and is infinitely better for it. Chris happily asserts “the music on Gone Again breathes, and has a pulse.” Critics scramble for the superlatives when describing Chris' musicianship and over the years he has been honored with numerous Boston Music Awards and a Platinum Record for his songs on the Great Big Sea release Sea of No Cares. Chris is a founding member and the lead singer for nationally acclaimed pop-rock band The Push Stars. The New York Times calls the band 'classic pop perfection.' When on hiatus from The Push Stars, Chris writes, records and tours in support of his solo efforts. Additionally, Chris' tunes can be found on major motion picture and network TV soundtracks including There's Something About Mary, Say It Isn't So, ER, Malcolm In The Middle. Produced by Brad Young (Dow Brain, Underground Productions).
