Blitzen Trapper Launch East Coast Tour in Support of Zen-Like New Album
Blitzen Trapper's Eric Earley on why he's finally learning to enjoy touring.
Raised an hour south of Portland along I-5 in Salem, Oregon, Earley describes his upbringing as “pretty conservative…nothing special.” Before he was born, his parents were a musical duo “involved in the Jesus movement in Southern California in the early Seventies,” and he found himself gravitating toward songwriting. Blitzen Trapper formed in Portland around 2000 and hovered in the indie-folk and alt-country realms with a sound that was vibrant, ethereal, and catchy, evoking a mix of Tom Petty, Beck, and Van Morrison. Blitzen Trapper tour dates: Nov. 3 — Ferndale, MI @ Magic Bag Nov. 4 — Cleveland Heights, OH @ Grog Shop Nov. 6 — Philadelphia, PA @ Johnny Brenda’s Nov. 7 — Annapolis, MD @ Rams Head On Stage Nov. 8 — Brooklyn, NY @ Baby’s All Right Nov. 9 — Washington, DC @ Black Cat Nov. 10 — Charleston, WV @ Mountain StageNov.
