 makes Trapper's songs so strong&hellip\; He makes you feel like you are th
 e person he's singing about.  The Few & the Far Between is another strong 
 addition to the Chris Trapper/Push Stars catalog.&rdquo\;  Popdose\nCHRIS 
 TRAPPER began his career as the front man for late-90's alternative rock b
 and THE PUSH STARS (Capitol Records).  With four CD releases and several h
 igh profile national tours&mdash\;including a run with Matchbox Twenty&mda
 sh\;The Push Stars served to establish Chris as an authentic talent.\nAs a
  modern day singer /songwriter\, Chris is most known for his song This Tim
 e\, the #1 selling song on the Grammy nominated soundtrack for AUGUST RUSH
  (Robin Williams\, Jonathan Rhys Meyers /Warner Bros Pictures).\nThe newes
 t CD (released October 2011)\, The Few & The Far Between\, is a collection

  Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty\, The More I Think featuring vocals and sli

 is work &ldquo\;classic pop perfection.&rdquo\;\nA prolific songwriter\, C
 hris can boast high profile film placements including There's Something Ab

  George Clooney's final episode of ER\, the theme song for WB Networks dra
 medy Pepper Dennis and a cameo on-screen appearance with the show's star\,
  Rebecca Romjin.\nChris Trapper's music can best be described as lyrically
  driven roots-pop with a knack for telling everyday stories filled with ex
 tra-ordinary characters.\nA respected songwriter of the highest caliber\, 
 Chris has written 7 songs with/for Canadian band GREAT BIG SEA\, including
  their #1 single &ldquo\;Sea Of No Cares&rdquo\; from the certified-platin
 um Sea Of No Cares CD.  Great Big Sea covered Trapper's song &ldquo\;Every
 thing Shines&rdquo\; and their version served as the debut single off thei

 h Great Big Sea earned him two prestigious SOCAN awards. Rob Thomas of Mat
 chbox Twenty and Antigone Rising have performed other notable versions of 
 Trapper's songs.\nChris Trapper's ability to craft songs that are both ele
 gant and accessible is evident on each solo CD in his deep Discography. Th
 ere is a smart\, honest quality to the lyrics that never panders.\nTrapper
 's live show is a favorite among fans of alt&ndash\;acoustic music. His on
 &ndash\;stage persona is warm and inclusive\, his organic understanding of
  classic pop melody infectious. Audience members seem to particularly appr
 eciate the lighthearted moments with the ukulele. They depart the venue at
  the end of the evening with the sense of having been truly entertained.\n
 &ldquo\;It's an incredibly rare musician\, particularly in the world of po
 pular music\, who is able to forge a career based on quiet dignity and ste
 adfast integrity.&rdquo\;\nThe Buffalo News\nhttp://www.christrapper.com\n

 other Brendan\, and Shaun Rhoades. The band will release their fourth CD &
 ldquo\;Be Nice Be Careful\,&rdquo\; in January.  The new disc was recorded
