Stadium concerts. Number one top charts with solo releases. History of rock’n’roll written all over him. Mike Tramp has had it all. Right now, however, after spending the last two decades studiously carving out a solid solo career for himself, Mike Tramp is happy being Mike Tramp. “Many years ago I realized that going back to basics, demanding nothing and being surprised if there was a tray of sandwiches in the dressing room was the way forward,” he smiles.
“Stray From The Flock” is the latest in a stellar collection of records written and released by Tramp since 1997. From the excellence of his solo debut “Capricorn” till the No. 1 charts catapulted “Maybe Tomorrow”, the Danish singer has been on a distinctive, solo journey that have seen him reinventing himself and reach a consistency in look, feel and a sound that although centres on some of the finest, acoustic based yet hauntingly melodic songs you’ll ever hear also – refreshingly so – make the odd diversion into previously unexplored territory.
“Stray From The Flock” is the new studio album from Mike Tramp. Released on the 1st of March on CD, double gatefold LP on black 140G vinyl, LTD double gatefold LP on orange colour LP 180G (500 copies only) digital and cassette by Target Records.
