Peter Trappen: A Journey Through Music and Life

Peter recently moved back to the United States from England and is currently in Florida reuniting with old friends and bandmates, making new friends and connections. Having lived in South Florida for many years, he's starting over after his British wife died from cancer in 2019. Dedicating this time to get his daughter safely enrolled in University just before Covid lockdown, he has moved back to the USA after 14 years.

Inspired by legendary artists such as The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Bob Seger, and later by the Allman Brothers, John Prine, Neil Young, and Jimmy Buffett, Trappen's musical influences are as diverse as they are profound. He eventually delved deeply into the Blues, drawing inspiration from Muddy Waters, BB King and Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Trappen's determination to learn and grow led him to travel the world, gathering invaluable experiences and musical insights. Along his journey, he crossed paths with many famous individuals, many of whom remain his friends to this day.

Through the years, Trappen continues to hone his craft, writing and creating music. An A&R Factory review notes: The backing instrumentation, featuring stalwarts like Paul Hirsh on keys and Martin Ditcham on drums, complements Trappen’s work perfectly, making every moment of the track resonate with bluesy purity. 

His past releases have been met with critical acclaim. Charles Spano praised his work, stating, "The straight-ahead rock songs, reminiscent of Clapton's solo work, are connected by a conceptual storyline." Joe Hartlaub added, "Trappen pulls off the trick of making his material sound familiar, without sounding stale. If he's got another one inside of him, I'd like to hear it."
