"Change in the Weather is a stunning piece of Americana whose lyrical authenticity and bold musicality shows a band that stands apart from other groups twice their age." -Rift Music Magazine
"A songwriting talent in the making." -The Istmus
"Schoepp is 18, going on 50. For someone of such tender years, his voice belies such a young age, and his song writing credentials also indicate that he knows his Americana/indie folk heritage." -Americana UK
“These guys have nailed an indie folk sound that is genuine and fun.” -Shepizzle Indie Music Reviews
"A beguiling quality…it has a magnetically positive idealism behind it that seems to be severely lacking in contemporary music…” -Mish Mash Music Reviews
"Even though this band is made up of five teenagers that fact is quickly forgotten once the music starts...a meandering folk rock Dylan-esque sound..."-Indie Music Stop
"A jamband-in-check feel to the earnest thoughtfulness, a feel that comes from being in one’s late-teens and the ensuing early jabs at figuring out the world"-The Shepherd Express
"See them live once, and their charm coupled with their talent will leave you wanting more." -Beaux's Magical Musical Plasicity
"Their debut album is a collection of nine wonderfully written and piano infested songs that are sure to make into your rotation.-What to Wear During an Orange Alert Blog
“One might think the lyrics of a 18-year-old might be, well, juvenile, but Trapper pens some pretty good lines...The band employs tension and release and within-song twists and turns with skill that belies their age."-The Muse's Muse
"The Trapper Schoepp Band is definitely catching on to something....- University Wisconsin-Milwaukee Post
“Obvious inspiration within the lyrics comes from Bob Dylan, as songs contain the same ambling attitude”–Volume One
"A sound of its own…anyone who grew up with rock will feel at home listening to them play — or playing their new CD, ‘A Change in the Weather’…” -Red Wing Eagle Newspaper
“I find the band to be something between the Magnetic Fields and Interpol...which is cool…”
-Bassist Greg Richling of The Wallflowers

Hey guys, how have you been? how's your summer going? Minneapolis has FINALLY warmed up!
If you haven't already, please check out my new album, Whispering Endearments, on iTunes and help support us independent musicians... so I can eat! :) Let me know your thoughts! peace,
'Gelatinous sheaths' has become the name by which the local O/J vendors are described. I don't know where they disco-veered the pleasantry(ies) they now lay unearthed before the tin baristas, but we can surely conclude the equal minus equal is really just nothing, if not too equal.
I AM BLOWN AWAY! What's up guys-just thought I'd stop by the page and see how you guys are doing...and I had to sit and listen to every song they were so good! You sound fabulous and, tho I was a fan before, I'm a HUGE fan now! I can't wait to keep watching you grow and expand...keep up the amazing music!!
FGC returns to the Majestic Theatre in Madison on Thursday April 9 to share the stage with Kyle Hollingsworth (from String Cheese Incident). More info on our myspace page or at www.familygrooveco.com/tour. Hope to see you at the show!
