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, she devoted herself to 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 recording her fourth album (to be pressed on vinyl) and is celebrating her first pop/rock single release (“Take Your Own Ride” – out Feb 23) with her stellar band of Boston greats, including Mike Connors, Andrew Stern (guitar), Ed Lucie (bass), Bethany Weiman (cello), James Rohr (keys), and horn section led by Jerry Sabatini (trumpet). When she’s not playing and singing, she can be found teaching Pilates in the restored carriage house she shares outside Boston with Mike and Ringo the Wonder-Cat.
