Connor Garvey is an award-winning singer-songwriter with the amiable presence of an entertainer, the lyrical depth of a poet, and the enchantment of a storyteller. His engaging performance style, accomplished musicianship, and memorable melodies leave audiences uplifted and inspired through a positive message delivered in a way that shows you can be optimistic and self-aware without being boring. His lyrics project a depth and sincerity that allow the observant listener to find meaning beyond the catchy hook.
Onstage, Garvey is driven by the shared, spontaneous moments that can only come from live performance. He thrives in intimacy and connection.
This combination of songwriting and performance strength has earned Garvey numerous awards including being named winner of the Kerrville New Folk, Rocky Mountain Folks Fest, SolarFest, Wildflower Art and Music Festival, and Maine Songwriters Association songwriting competitions, voted as Most Wanted artist at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, nominated for Best Male Performer in the New England Music Awards, and a top new singer songwriter by Sirius XM’s The Coffeehouse.
“Quality song-craft from a richly experienced, acclaimed musician.” – Americana UK
“Connor’s got a spark that shines all around him when he’s on stage… He has a way of turning a phrase or skewing a song scenario so that it makes the listener take note. A real talent.” – No Depression
Putnam Smith could be an old-world troubadour fresh from the 19th Century — he lives on a working homestead in Vermont, plays his great-grandfather’s banjo, and prints the jackets of his CDs on an antique letterpress. Yet this rootsy multi-instrumentalist songwriter, steeped as he is in old-time Appalachian traditions, is very much a storyteller for the modern age.
Called “One To Watch” by Rob Reinhart of Acoustic Cafe, and a 2016 Falcon Ridge Emerging Artist, he’s had two albums reach into the top 5 on the national Folk & Bluegrass DJ Charts and has performed all across the nation. Putnam is also part of the duo The Early Risers with his partner Ashley Storrow.
