NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Drury Performing Arts Management class will bring singer-songwriter Chris Trapper to the Drury auditorium this Saturday.
Boston-based Trapper is former front man for the late-'90s alternative rock band The Push Stars and his music has been featured on televisions shows and movies including "Malcolm in the Middle" and "There’s Something About Mary."
He will play at the Drury After Dark concert series this weekend.
"He is really great and he has some really great music, and I think it is going to appeal to a lot of the community and school community as well," DPAM student and senior Alex Bernard said.
Bernard said the DPAM After Dark concert series is much more intimate than some of class's bigger shows. The curtains are closed on the stage and the audience gathers on the stage around the artist.
Bernard said DPAM members, which are producing the show completely on their own, have been setting up for this performance all year.
"We have been planning and working on this since the year started," she said. "We have had set up marketing teams to get the word out, we have reached out to local businesses and we have ... been planning our staging and lighting and learning how to use our light boards and sound system."
Drury sophomore Connor Kelly will open with an acoustic set for Trapper.
The show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are available online, at the Berkshire Emporium or at the door. Student tickets are $5 and general tickets are $10.
"I think it is going to be a very entertaining evening, and there is going to be a lot of great music," Bernard said. "It is really cool to have a Drury sophomore opening for a pretty well-known act, and I think it is going to be a great show."
