Connor O'Brien's music is catchy, clever and memorable. In fact, Ohio's largest newsweekly, Scene Magazine, described it best when it called Connor's music "a near-perfect blend of buoyant pop and acrobatic rock." Raised on the lush and precise vocal harmonies of '50s doo-wop and the Beach Boys, Connor's love of music evolved as he turned on to a variety of influential musicians. Listening to everyone from Michael Jackson to crooner Matt Monroe, Aerosmith to REM, Connor started to create original music built on his foundation of classic rock, R&B and pop. The result is a mix of raw emotion, stirring harmony and irresistable rhythm. Everyone who hears Connor's music wants to hear more. And audiences are responding in a big way as Connor tours Midwest cities and colleges. He has opened for such national acts as Mariah Carey, Vertical Horizon, Huey Lewis & The News, Kevin Bacon, Frankie J, Kevin Lyttle, and Edwin McCain.
