Blitzen Trapper Drop Winter Tour Dates

photo by Jade Harris

From Wild Mountain Nation, to the highly acclaimed, 2008 release Furr, Blitzen Trapper are centering their Chi and flirting with the likes of outright success. Oregon in the winter ain't no place for a band not in the midst of going "Bon Iver" and reclusing-it-up for song writing purposes. They are taking it to the road, setting out on a winter tour. Starting with a free show at Portland's Crystal Ballroom, this tour finds Blitzen playing with the likes of emerging artist Alela Diane, Canadian experimental-pop'ers Plants and Animals and fellow Oregon natives, Blue Giant.
