Trapper Schoepp

“What’s most important to me is to be a link in the chain of folksingers before and after my time,” Trapper Schoepp says in light of his forthcoming album, Siren Songs. Recorded at Johnny Cash’s Cash Cabin in Hendersonville, TN, Trapper continues down the trail trod by his musical heroes. In 2019, the Milwaukee singer-songwriter published a long lost song with Bob Dylan called “On, Wisconsin” – making him the youngest musician to share a co-writing credit with the Nobel Prize laureate. 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, Schoepp will take to the road again with Siren Songs in 2023. “This kind of folk music is a living, breathing artform that really comes to life when shared,” Trapper says. “I can’t wait to take these songs to the people.”
