Trapper Robbins
Trapper is an accomplished rock composer, keyboard player, and singer with a special interest in interwoven rhythmic patterns, creative lyrics & phrasings, and unexpected song transitions. His music moves seamlessly across genres including elements of rock, fusion, funk, and jazz. Trapper’s goal is to craft freshly layered songs that are approachable, sometimes challenging, and always interesting. Through it all, there is a thread of subtle ironic urgency that keeps the music alive and relevant.
Trapper’s recent albums were written and recorded on artist residencies in Iceland, Australia, Greece, and the United States. All songs in these collections were inspired by those wild dramatic landscape and the fun & interesting people living there.
Trapper first discovered Stehekin via his avid hiking and mountaineering interests and eventually bought an old log cabin here. He spends half the year in Stehekin and performs live with “Agnes On Fire”, Stehekin’s premier rock band.

Phantom Matter
Trapper Robbins, From the album “Solar Kiss”
Sun slinking around sideways, confounding our ingrained expectations and leading to all sorts of detached unexpected observations about planets, matter, passion, and love.

Short Day
Trapper Robbins, From the album “Not Here But Now”
This instrumental song captures a single winter day walking outside in the far northern latitudes; from pre-dawn though the brief mid-day sun, then the long slide to sunset.
