When each of these Maine singer-songwriters steps on stage at a folk festival, in a rock club or in a living room they immediately capture the audience with their presence, vocal strength and artful stories. Independent touring artists in their own right, Connor and Sorcha share similar musical backgrounds. When they team up as a duo, their harmonies alone can carry the show. Add rich blues-funk grooves, contemplative imagery and nods to various traditions, and youll find this collaboration has staying power.
Connor Garvey is an award-winning singer-songwriter from Portland, Maine, with the amiable presence of an entertainer, the lyrical depth of a poet, and the enchantment of a storyteller. Garvey has earned numerous awards including being named winner of the Kerrville New Folk, Rocky Mountain Folks Fest, SolarFest, Wildflower Art and Music Festival and Maine Songwriters Association songwriting competitions, voted as Most Wanted artist at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, nominated for Best Male Performer in the New England Music Awards, and a top new singer songwriter by Sirius XM's The Coffeehouse.
Sorcha Cribben-Merrill composes stirring folk-blues-soul music that she sings in a sultry, jazzy voice of unexpected power. From haunting ballads to funk grooves, her songs unveil a suite of musical styles that shows a wide-ranging songwriting ability. Sorcha tours nationally solo and as a duo, and regionally with her band Sorcha & The Clearing. She is at home performing on an acoustic stage, at a roots festival, on a sail boat or in a rock club.
She was selected as an Emerging Artist at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival (2012) and has sung her original songs with The Fogcutters, a contemporary big band from Maine.
