Already highly regarded for his guitar playing and endorsements, Connor will release his debut LP “Tapestry” on September 05, 2025. A wonderful demonstration of the young artist’s skills, the LP has a who’s who of modern Prog as guest features, including Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater), Olly Steele (ex-Monuments), Plini, and strings sensation ThatVoilaKid.
Raised on the sounds of U2, Muse, and Metallica, 8 year old Connor picked up the guitar and the rest is history. As his skills developed, and his style took shape, Connor looked to Dream Theater, Intervals, and Devin Townsend as leaders of a new Prog Metal sound. Inspired by intricate guitar lines, extended song structures, and technical musicianship, Connor has crafted a modern take on the new wave of guitar music.
In 2017, Connor began posting videos and photos on Instagram of his guitar playing, quickly building a loyal community of fans and musicians alike. Using social media as his stage, Connor developed his aesthetic and refined his artistic direction to even higher standards. This growth helped him establish relationships with .strandberg*, D’Addario, Neural DSP, GetGood Drums, and even allowed him to design and release his dream signature guitar with .strandberg* at the age of 27 in October 2024.
In May, 2025, Connor joined forces with Australian guitarist, Keyan Houshmand, to release their collaborative EP, “Kinetic.” A 20+ minute offering that featured the likes of Adam “Nolly” Getgood and Jack Gardiner, both contributing guitar solos, “Kinetic” was widely praised by the modern Prog and guitar communities.
Now comes Connor’s debut solo effort, but not without a stellar guest cast. Listen out for example, for the searing solo provided by Olly Steele on the album’s closer “Godtuner,” or the brilliant and esoteric turn from Dream Theater legend Jordan Rudess on track six, “On The Fringes.” Although an instrumental album, this is a release that begs for the repeat button – heralding a new force in modern guitar Prog.
