Hello World! \u00a0 Let’s connect the musical dots. \u00a0You may already know I am a fan of Great Big Sea. \u00a0I discovered Chris Trapper when he performed Sea of No Cares<\/em> with them a few years ago in Lowell, MA. \u00a0During a visit to Newfoundland,\u00a0he co-wrote the song with Alan Doyle and Sean McCann. You may have heard Chris Trapper’s music in motion pictures, and on television, or even while shopping! Here are just two-\u00a0Every Angel<\/a>\u00a0(The Devil Wears Prada) <\/em>and\u00a0\u00a0This Time<\/a>\u00a0 (August Rush) <\/em>that have made it to the big screen.\u00a0<\/em>Chris is enjoying a solo career, as well as making music with his band The Push Stars. The Push Stars recently released a new album- 3 Feet in the Air<\/em>. \u00a0In September musician Rob Thomas tweeted his wife’s music pick of the day, I Wrote a Song For You. \u00a0<\/em>The next day he posted 3 Feet in the Air <\/em>as his pick.\u00a0<\/em>Both songs can\u00a0be found on\u00a0the new album. A few more musical connections as The Push Stars have opened for Matchbox Twenty in the past. Push Stars’ drummer Ryan MacMillan has also played with Matchbox 20. It is a struggle, but I will stay on topic! I love Rob Thomas and Matchbox 20 too! \u00a0See how connecting the musical dots leads from one artist to another?! It is a great way to discover new music!<\/p>\n

I caught up with Mr. Trapper last month in Lowell, MA. He told me he has been listening to 50s music such as The Fleetwoods, Bobby V. and the Everly Brothers. \u00a0I can’t thank him enough for taking the time to talk! Click below for some music that will take you back!<\/p>\n

Wake Up Little Susie<\/a><\/p>\n

Mr. Blue<\/a><\/p>\n

Chris also listens to Kingsley Flood. His brother-in-law,\u00a0Naseem Khuri, just happens to be the lead singer for the band. \u00a0You may have seen a cameo of Chris in their video \u00a0I Don’t Wanna Go Home<\/a>.\u00a0More musical dots connected! Stay tuned for a Kingsley Flood post in the near future!<\/p>\n

In the meantime,\u00a0here are a few more of my Chris Trapper favs!<\/p>\n
