Peter Trappen

Home: Lansing, Michigan USA

I got my first guitar at about the age of 8. It was an old beat-up acoustic guitar. I learned to play that thing through sheer will and eventually saved up enough money to buy an electric guitar. That was all I wanted to do. I have been a professional musician now for over 30 years. My vocal style sounds kinda like Jimmy Buffett meets Jim Morrison at a roadhouse deep in the backwoods of Michigan. I finger-pick acoustic and electric guitars with a generous dose of Eric Clapton & Mark Knopfler on one hand and the Stooges and Ramones on the other.

These songs are self-produced in my home studio. All parts are played by me using a Roland XP50 sequencer & RP50 Loop Station for rhythm tracks, keyboards, violins, flutes etc. and Acoustic & Electric guitars and Harmonicas... except for guest artists on several tracks as follows: Rush & Julie Clement sing harmonies on 'You Ain't Going Nowhere", Patrick John Dawdy on acoustic rhythm guitar & harmony vocals (Going My Way & Mother Natures Wine), Doug Gluckin on Saxophone & Flute (Talk To Me Lady, Mother Nature's Wine & Going My Way), Jerry Krause on keyboards & bass (Chasing the Sky & Talk To Me Lady), Patrick T. Malloy on lead guitar (Going My Way), Mike Willemin (drums and percussion (Chasing the Sky & Talk To Me Lady).

MELISSA (by Peter Trappen ) Composed: 2001

Folk-rock in the Bob Dylan style. Spoken word, clever lyrics with harmonica and chiming guitar arpeggios. A song about a girl who protests too much. Lovely violin/cellos weave a sweeping concerto at the end. Male Vocals, Rock Music, Folk Rock

YOU'RE BREAKING MY HEART (by Peter Trappen ) Composed: 2001

Tongue-in-cheek story about how things couldn't get any worse when the subject of the song meets a voodoo witch with unexpected consequences. A bluesy rock setting with blistering guitar licks and a story line complete with barking dogs from hell. Male Vocals, Rock Music, Blues Rock
