The Britt Connors Band - EP Release Show

Britt Connors grew up surrounded by music of all kinds: the folk, rock, and jazz of her parents, the classical of her grandparents, and the pop of 80’s and 90’s radio. As such, the music she writes and plays is as eclectic as her background. After graduating from Ithaca College with a degree in vocal performance and teaching voice lessons for a year, she moved to Somerville, MA with the sole purpose of learning guitar, crafting her first songs, and finding her place in the Boston music scene. Along the way, she met and married celebrated drummer Mike Connors, who has played in her band since 2008. Her three albums, The Bad Side of Good (released under her maiden name of Sawdon), Warmer Season (under Britt Connors and Bourbon Renewal), and Longitude have celebrated her wide-ranging interests and influences, slipping nimbly and authentically between soulful ballads, pop-rock, and gospel-infused Americana. She's currently finishing her fourth work, to be released this fall as an EP of 6 songs, one of which she released as her first pop/rock single ("Take Your Own Ride") with her stellar band of Boston greats, including Andrew Stern (guitar), Ed Lucie (bass), Bethany Weiman (cello), James Rohr (keys), and horn section led by Jerry Sabatini (trumpet) and with Clayton DeWalt (trombone), and Rick Stone (alto sax). When she’s not playing and singing, Britt can be found teaching Pilates in the restored carriage house she shares outside Boston with Mike and Ringo the Wonder-Cat.
