The wonderfully talented Blitzen Trapper are kicking off an extensive U.S. tour Feb. 22.
The Portland group is a collection of gentle, introspective talented fellows with a fondness for the 1960s, '70s, folk, country and wandering, bearded rock and roll, all of which is reflected in the rawness and twang of their soulful live set.

My Trusted MOGs
I've heard only good comments on Blitzen Trapper and I only wish I could catch them live one of these days.
(When I say Cambridge I thought maybe. Then I realised it was MA not UK. O well ;)
