About

One voice, a keyboard and a lot of songs

I’m Connor. I started on piano when I was about 12, and started singing a year later. I’ve been playing out since around 2014, accompanying myself on piano and guitar around upstate New York, at open mics, small venues, and the occasional place that isn’t a venue at all.

Piano is where I sound best, so that’s where most of my sets live now. I bring my own electric piano and speakers. Guitar comes out when the room calls for it.

Most nights it’s Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers, Leonard Cohen and the songs a room already knows. I also spent three years studying vocal performance at George Mason University, so I read music and sight-read well. If your choir or ensemble needs a tenor, I’m happy to sing with you too.
