Bio

Let’s face it… the world is a noisy place these days. Everyone and everything is vying for attention… 15 minutes of fame… a moment in the sun… and finding a quiet place for reflection and reinvigoration…a protective nook away from the madding crowd to enjoy solace and rejuvenation is becoming increasingly difficult.

Music was once that space… where artists and audiences would meet to explore their common humanity… where the tempo of time slowed just a little… at least enough to recharge the soul.

But now, with music so omnipresent… so pervasive… it isn’t uncommon to hear of people craving silence rather than the indiscriminate stream of organised noise.

Graeme Connors is an artist whose career spans both those earlier more leisurely times and the seemingly chaotic present… for over 50 years he has written songs and created music that, while celebrating change, manages through the timeless arts of songwriting and storytelling, to keep a sense of stillness… an awareness that life is in the moment… that meaningful words and music still remain a glorious way to make our moments precious.

With the release of ‘What Next?’, Graeme’s 21st Album, the course he charted with his first groundbreaking album ‘North’ continues… down a long line… a road less travelled… set in a unique soundscape and a distinctive style unmistakably his own.

As a touring artist Graeme has the soul of a troubadour…taking his music to the four corners of Australia and everywhere in between. He has graced stages at major and minor Festivals, city concert venues and small country halls performing to audiences in the tens, hundreds or thousands.

Among those in the know, the broad church of loyal Graeme Connors listeners, his songs are like secret handshakes, links in a chain that bind their disparate experiences on the land, in the suburbs, and in the heart, with a sense of place, meaning and purpose.
