Connor Garvey is a singer-songwriter from Portland, Maine, with the amiable presence of an entertainer, the lyrical depth of a poet, and the enchantment of a storyteller. He is living proof that you can be sunny without being superficial. First time listeners get hooked by his intimate and cheerful performance style, accomplished musicianship, and memorable melodies. But there's abundant meaning beyond the catchy hooks. With his pleasing tenor voice and upbeat melodic style, The Portland Phoenix praised Connor's "Martin Sexton-ish jangle funk, Mraz-y confessionals, and clear voice..." Vance Gilbert, Amy Speace and David Wilcox have each registered their enthusiasm for Connor's music, and fans at several top festivals (Kerrville, Falcon Ridge, Solarfest and more) picked him as number one in their songwriting competitions in the summer of 2014.
The Boston Herald's Jed Gottlieb called singer-songwriter Sarah Blacker "Boston's delightful folk nymph," yet he also said of her, "Sarah Blacker makes some of the most interesting folk music in Boston mostly by making folk the starting point and reaching out toward rock, Americana and prog." Her voice is unusually fine and her poignant, emotionally charged lyrics are impressive. She'll be opening tonight's show, and joining Connor during his set.
