Be Our Guest: Santa Cruz Blues Festival
Win tickets to see Chris Isaak at the Santa Cruz Blues Festival
With a swoon-inducing voice, reverb-y guitar sound and a look straight out of the 1950s, Chris Isaak has pretty much created a genre for himself in pop music.
Rat Trap
It’s been a short two years since the inception of Rat Trap, and the release of their 2012 sophomore album, Blueprints of a Paper City. But in that time, the group’s been through a lot of changes. Initially, Grant Simmons started the band as a two-piece garage rock cover band, which turned into a five-piece indie-folk band (including a violin). By the time they jumped in the study to record Blueprints of a Paper City, Simmons had traded his acoustic guitar for an electric, and started listening to a whole lot of post-rock bands like Sigur Rós and Explosions in the Sky.
