This is a song I wrote this week, trying to capture that strange emotion you sometimes feel during times of great milestones in your life - good things happening, changes, moving on. Joy and melancholy all at the same time. Everyone feels it…
This was a write it and record it in one session song challenge that my songwriting friends and I came up with this week. Lions and Lambs was started thinking of spring, but it turned into a song about relationships... as they often do.
Greg…
This is one of my favorite collaborations with Paul Lennon so far. I wrote the song with king of a bluesy feel, and then found a perfect marriage for the music with one of Paul's awesome tracks. Then we tinkered on it together to make it so…
Well the MN songwriters were in my living room tonight. We all shared our contributions to the "glass" songwriting challenge. Here's the live version of Poorly Blown Glass with Greg Connor on Guitar, Scott Zosel on Mandolin, Colin Walterson…
Here's the second one we did at the Winterland Studios. You'll hear Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, Colin W. on bass and vocals and Randy C. on piano. This was a blast! I think this is definitely the best version yet of this song.

Imagining my band imaginary band in my head on one of those 60's type music shows. Just having fun with this one nothing too serious lyrically like solving world peace or finding high consciousness ..although it really is a true story.
Somehow you guys make even creepy subject matter sound happy! Love the vibe on this. Who Knew that this challenge would bring out such different stories in every song's approach to the topic. Great one!

from the Poisonous EP
wait for the worry lines, the worry lines
to disappear
they get me every time, me every time
that you are near
won’t let you get inside, this heart of mine
i must be strong
you knew you’d get to me, you’d get to…
I did this about 2 years ago and only found it the other day.
I think it sounds like something Robbie Williams would sing - and not really my style or cup of tea. It's a bit anthemic "come on and join in" (no thanks). Add to that I my singing…
Original. I wanted to paint a picture of a long, cold walk through the pouring rain. The longer you listen the stranger the atmosphere becomes. It could be haunted!

Last of the archives for now. A set of reels from the Last Nights Fun album. I did pipes, whistle and guitar on the last tune in the set. There's a live version of this up here too. This is the studio cut

Sweet gentle song - nice.
Not everyone has a voice that so effortlessly conveys such depth live. Lovely.
I'm really digging the 'down home' vibe on this!
So sweet in it's apparent simplicity. Very difficult to pull off, you made it.
