Monk's Presents: Laura Jane Grace & Band With Special Guests Trapper Schoppe & Team Nonexistent

Laura Jane Grace & Band

Laura Jane Grace is a major figure in today’s rock scene as both a solo artist and the front person of Against Me!, which she founded in Naples, FL in the late 1990s. As a working artist, she has released six solo offerings and seven albums with Against Me!, and in 2012 went public with her gender transition in the pages of Rolling Stone. In her music, she continues to detail her journey all while staying true to her earlier themes of outspoken political critique – environmentalism along with personal and social liberation – with a base in American music including country and folk-rock, with a penchant for noise and anarchy. Laura Jane will be joined by her band "The Mississippi Medicals" featuring Matt Patton of Drive-By Truckers (bass), Mikey Erg of The Ergs (drums) and Paris Campbell Grace (vocals, percussion).

Trapper Schoepp

Trapper Schoepp’s 2012 release “Run Engine Run” brought immediate national attention including a nod from Rolling Stone.

Since then, the grass, it has not grown under Trapper’s feet. He and his band have stayed on the road in the US and Europe, while conjuring four releases that wrap his story-telling troubadour songs in a crafted alt-country sound of the No Depression movement variety. “Siren Songs,” released in 2023, marks a bit of a pivot for Trapper, more inhabited by the brooding, and buoyancy, of Irish Folk traditions.
