Cold Water Waltz

  Discography / Cold Water Waltz
Overview

“Cold Water Waltz” is a mostly stripped-down affair, with the focus squarely on Trapper’s achingly honest lyrics, honeyed tenor and delicate fingerpicking. The record features Boston legends Duke Levine (Aimee Man, Peter Wolf) & Jim Prescott (G Love & Special Sauce) as well as Matt Beck (Matchbox Twenty, Rod Stewart) & a co-write with Rob Thomas (the song “Clear”). Produced and recorded by Brad Young and Jason Meeker, the album was released on October 16th, 2020.
