Quick Q & A with Connor Garvey
Portland, Maine-based singer songwriter Connor Garvey describes his music as acoustic funky folk-rock for the good-hearted. His initiation as a modern troubadour came during a 45-day self-booked cross-country train tour via Amtrak in 2008. Since then, he has been drawing audiences and critical acclaim with his inventive, rhythmic guitar work, clear, soulful vocals, and songs that capture people’s attention with humor, daring honesty, and grace – songs that challenge us to hope, grow, laugh, and see beauty in all of life’s metaphors.
