The three nondescript guys came smashing out of the gate with a powerful, riff heavy, drum-driven sound" - Yoppul

Claydon Connor
Claydon Connor’s music always tells a story; written from the heart his new album ‘Under The Big Sky’ self released late 2014 to great reviews combines all his musical influences. Although eclectic and diverse the album has a continuum in the writing style.

It’s a perfect blend of Roots Americana with a hint of classic English pop amounting to a sound that is both honest and infectious.
