With The Push Stars, Chris has written material for four studio albums and six self-produced discs. Several of his songs have been picked up for major motion picture soundtracks including "There’s Something About Mary", "Me Myself & Irene" & "The Devil Wears Prada" and for television shows such as Privileged, Pepper Dennis, ER, and Malcolm in the Middle. His 2002 solo project "Songs from the Drive-In" showcased "his formidable storytelling talents," according to the Boston Phoenix.* www.christrapper.com Colin Train, Scottish singer song writer and multi instrumentalist will proudly support Chris Trapper on his UK tour.
