Howdy! I'm Konnor and I've stepped away from playing music for entirely too long. I've played woodwinds for 15 years, the guitar for 13, bass for 10, and mandolin for three or four. Singing has been a thing for I don't even know how many years, and I've never fronted in a performance situation, but I feel as if I'd possibly be a good fit for either lead vocals or backing. Give me a reason to learn some Toots Thielemans on my harmonica!

Influences
Where do I start? I'm currently fawning over the Reverend Horton Heat, The Cramps, Setzer, and the Koffin Kats. I've recently been inspired as well to pick up the pedal steel.
Otherwise, I mainly listen to Bossa Nova, Tropicalia, and Choro these days. Vocally I really identify with Donny Hathaway, Bobby Caldwell, Mayer Hawthorne, and Jamie Lidell. I like a lot of music that can be termed "alternative," and prefer my metal as corny and technical as possible.
Connect with me if your genres don't quite match up, as I like to play as much as I can.
