Tonight: Blitzen Trapper

June 14, 2016

  If you’re looking to get into Blitzen Trapper, it may take you a few solid months to comb through the band’s far-reaching discography. The alt-folk/blues rock quintet from Portland, OR recently released their eighth studio album, All Across This Land, within a span of about 16 years. It’s not as easy as it would seem to pigeon-hole Blitzen Trapper as a folk group, or a blues rock band. The stylistic arsenal they’re able to draw from is as far-reaching as their catalogue, which makes for incredibly textured one at that.There’s something immediately pastoral about their sound, but it’s also incredibly attuned to modern pop-country song conventions. You can catch Blitzen Trapper downtown at Iron Works tonight. Show starts at 8:30pm, tickets are $17 at the door.

Portland roots rockers Blitzen Trapper make a welcome return to Buffalo tonight at the Town Ballroom along with Jesse Malin. After excellent shows at the Mohawk and Tralf over the years, the PAC-NW country/folk rock five piece will be bringing songs off their most recent release All Across This Land, a return to form that finds the band refocusing themselves on their sound after the progressive yet somewhat unsatisfying VII, while the acclaimed singer songwriter and man of the people Jesse Malin will be celebrating the release of of 2015, Outsiders, which just dropped  yesterday. This will be a celebration of the best kinds of American music: raw, soulful, exuberant, inclusive, joyfully real, and a really good time. Tickets are still available for $16. Doors open at 7pm while the show starts at 8pm.
