Biography
"Greg Connors' trademark simple guitar licks and detached alienated, lonely voice are coupled with a scary command of the English language. He is the Howard Finster of music, painting vivid abstract images with his words and guitar."
- Southeast Performer
Singer-songwriter Greg Connors has been making his own brand of music since his days in short pants on hardwood church pews. He has played for hat tips as well as in supporting slots for national as well as local acts in both Atlanta and New York City. He has awakened audiences for the likes of John Mayer, Joseph Arthur, Cat Power, Smoke, Songs: Ohia, Palace Brothers, and Vic Chesnutt.
He was a regular voice on Georgia State's WRAS with his band Front St. (w/ Will Fratesi, Cat Power, Tenement Hall) and with his very decisive, but now defunct, backing rhythm section "The Curb" (Mark Perkins, Brodie Stove, Andrew Brown - some jazz band). They regularly performed live, both on air and in clubs.
Greg's patchwork past is the backdrop to a more hopeful life marked by a sense of urgency to effect change, knowing that no one thing can fix anything since it's all the same thing. His latest effort, Here, There, and Anymore, was produced by studio genius, singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur.
Greg, now based in Montrose, PA, has played a number of venues throughout his career. From his southern beginnings in Georgia at such local favorites as the 40 Watt Club, in Athens, and the Variety Playhouse, in Atlanta, he has traveled North seeking new audiences in colder climes.
