Dylan Connor: Album Release Show

Dylan Connor

Rooted in the craft of classic singer/songwriters and inspired by cultures of the world, Connor continues in the tradition of Billy Bragg, Ben Folds, and Tom Petty. Present-day comparisons include Dawes, Nada Surf, and Phoebe Bridgers, while Connor himself claims kindred spirit influences including Jeff Buckley, Matthew Sweet's power pop, and Death Cab For Cutie. "Connor has a broader worldview than most songwriters. He's got an easy way with a pop hook and can be a ferociously incisive wordsmith." — New York Music Daily

His upcoming album, Lest We Forget, expands that sonic palette even further. Produced by lifelong friend Merritt Jacob, now a sought-after producer and engineer in Brooklyn, the record spans 11 tracks that move from dark, driving guitars reminiscent of The Cult, to the clean, shimmering textures inspired by Jeff Lynne’s work with Tom Petty, to stark, emotional piano-led moments echoing the raw intimacy of Plastic Ono Band. It is Connor’s most dynamic and cinematic work to date.
