Blitzen Trapper is a Portland, Oregon-based experimental country/folk/rock band. Formed in 2000, the band currently operates as a quartet, with Eric Earley, Brian Adrian Koch, Michael Elson, and Nathan Vanderpool; at some shows, Michael Blake fills in for Vanderpool.

Blitzen Trapper has been spinning space jams on stages throughout the world since 2007, tinged with country funk and some folk jams that appeal to the universal mind palace. They have put out over ten full-length records beginning in 2007 with Wild Mountain Nation, Furr in 2008, and onwards & upwards toward 2020's Holy Smokes, Future Jokes. They are currently a four-piece incarnation of multi-instrumental beings appearing sporadically playing hits and deep cuts, covers, and crowd favs to one and all.
