Vaughn Trapp

Vaughn Trapp is the nom de rock of Long Beach based singer-songwriter Doug Hammond, formerly of the Indie band Suncatcher (Restless Records) with a bent for classic songcraft. Taking his major cues from late 60's folk-rock and powerpop, VT's 2nd album "Songs Of The Great Depression" (2011) is marked by a K-Tel-esque eclecticism which includes the Badfinger inspired "Let's Be Good", the Steely Dan/Bacharach mood piece "Happy Days Are Here Again", the lyrically elliptical alt classic rock of "Permanent Plan "B" and "Paradigm Shift"
