WMSE is excited to invited you back to Anodyne in Walker’s Point on Tuesday, Oct. 7, at 6 p.m. sharp for a free, all-ages edition of Local/Live with Trapper Schoepp, and hosted by WMSE Music Director Sid and Milwaukee Record’s Matt Wild.
In fall 2025, Trapper will release his rawest work yet titled Osborne, which traces his path through addiction, recovery and chronic pain brought on by BMX accidents in his youth. Osborne lends its name from the unit Trapper was in at a Minnesota rehab facility and is also a nod to the songwriter’s muse Ozzy, who attended the same facility.
Channeling Black Sabbath, Suicide and Springsteen, this 11-track record coming via Blue Elan Records is wildly different than anything Trapper has done. Produced by pop polymath Mike Viola (Andrew Bird, Dawes) and multi-instrumentalist Tyler Chester (Madison Cunningham, Jackson Browne), Trapper feels like he’s found an honest voice in song and spirit through Osborne. Recorded in a California church basement, Trapper sings his truth against a backdrop of vintage drum machines, synths and distorted guitars.
After having spent the last decade performing countless live dates and sharing stages with such like-minded Americana mainstays as The Wallflowers, The Jayhawks, Frank Turner and Old 97’s, Trapper will take to the road again with Osborne in 2025.
