<h3>The Rickshaw presents Blitzen Trapper</h3><h4>with guest, Clay Orange</h4><h4>May 29th, 2025</h4><h4>The Rickshaw Theatre</h4><h4>19+</h4><h4>Doors: 7:00pm</h4><p><br></p><h3>Blitzen Trapper</h3><p>Blitzen Trapper's new album - 100's of 1000's, Millions of Billions - offers a captivating take on rebirth and transcendence, and the circularity of existence, navigating its way through the space beyond dreams and reality, beyond gods and mortals, beyond life and death. The songs here are as sincere as they are surreal, rooted in rich character studies and deep reflection, and unfolding like a riddle-filled journey that asks many questions and offers no answers. The production is intoxicating to match, blending lo-fi intimacy and trippy psychedelia into a mesmerizing swirl of analog and electronic sounds. Add it all together and the result is a gorgeous, sprawling collection wrapped in lush layers of synthesizers and washed out electric guitars–a poignant, expansive exploration of perception and purpose that manages to look both forwards and backwards all at once.</p><p>Launched roughly two decades ago in Portland, OR, Blitzen Trapper garnered early attention with a series of self-released albums before breaking out internationally with a pair of critically acclaimed LPs (2007’s Wild Mountain Nation and 2008’s Furr) that would cement their status at the forefront of the modern indie folk revival. Rolling Stone hailed the band’s “hazy, psychedelic Americana,” while NPR praised their “explosive live performances and infectious roots-rock swagger,” and The New York Times compared their songs to Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, and Neil Young.</p><p><a href="https://www.blitzentrapper.net/" title="https://www.blitzentrapper.net/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.blitzentrapper.net</a></p><p><br></p><h3>Clay Orange</h3><p>Clay Orange is the moniker of Vancouver-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ross Macnab, whose quiet evolution from local psych-rock collaborator to introspective solo artist marks a significant shift in tone and texture.</p><p>After several formative years with the band Tanglers, Macnab’s work as Clay Orange feels like the start of a more personal conversation — one rooted less in the collective pulse of a jam and more in the subtle details of reflection, memory, melody and rhythm.</p><p>Clay Orange’s sound threads together strands of indie folk, soul, and alt-rock with a gentle hand, often performed in rotating lineups that serve the songs more than any fixed identity. Lyrically, Macnab gravitates toward themes of everyday introspection — reflecting on memory, uncertainty, the natural world, and the quiet shifts in our inner lives, delivered with restraint rather than spectacle.</p><p>His debut full-length, Deeply, arrived in 2024, a self-released collection that earned attention for its warmth and honesty. A follow-up is currently in the works, with a tentative release planned for later this year.<br><a href="https://clayorange.bandcamp.com/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExQTRFUzJsUzU3SjA2NXhTagEe_z6zaZVxfjxW8Zp6K98lM7EBnJuihOC67kHImP4qGTBy1RXYVukJPULJVag_aem_gLwo0zTEATHswI5WrwV0cQ" title="https://clayorange.bandcamp.com/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExQTRFUzJsUzU3SjA2NXhTagEe_z6zaZVxfjxW8Zp6K98lM7EBnJuihOC67kHImP4qGTBy1RXYVukJPULJVag_aem_gLwo0zTEATHswI5WrwV0cQ" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">clayorange.bandcamp.com</a></p><p><br></p><h3><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/934785228835628" title="https://www.facebook.com/events/934785228835628" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">RSVP on Facebook</a></h3><p><br></p><h3>Refund Policy</h3><p>No refunds, unless event is cancelled.</p><p><br></p><p>For full listings visit <a href="https://rickshawtheatre.com/" title="https://rickshawtheatre.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.rickshawtheatre.com</a></p>
