Last night at Holocene, in Blitzen Trapper's hometown of Portland, Oregon, lead singer Eric Earley was first to take the stage. He performed a medley of songs in tribute to his grandparents, playing the acoustic guitar and banjo. Eventually, the rest of the band filled the stage, surrounded by handmade cardboard decorations of waves and trees. Despite technical difficulties, Blitzen blazed through an energetic set.
