Portland’s Blitzen Trapper With An Not-To-Be-Missed Live Set And Songwriter Eric Early Talks Hip Hop

January 17, 2014 - Blitzen Trapper, the band from Oregon, join us again on The Cafe today. Members of the group grew up in Salem, Oregon and the band formed 2000 in Portland where they now live. They signed to Sub Pop in 2007 and released their seventh album called VII last year.
