In 2009, then 17 year-old Liverpool, NY native Connor James Thuotte released his
debut album, Sunblind. A fully acoustic album, Sunblind's soothing melodies and
references to beach, surf and sun were strongly influenced by the works of Jack
Johnson and John Mayer.
Connor's 2011 sophomore album, Caught Between Summers, maintains the
singer/songwriter essence from Sunblind while progressing towards a full band
sound. The acoustic-rock mentality driving the album stays consistent
through-out all of the pieces while never leaving two songs sounding alike. For
each hard-driving ballad there is an acoustic piece to compliment it. On top of
the tight drum lines, smooth bass grooves, and crisp acoustic guitar are the
lyrics and stories which tie it all together.
Connor has also authored and performed an original song entitled Wishlist
included on the 2011 Christmas album Freezin for a Reason to support the New York
Special Olympics.
In the summer of 2012 he wrote and performed the syracuse.com
promo for the New York State Fair. His music has been featured on local radio,
the Syracuse Post Standard music notes performance series, an Oswego State
University Spotlight issue and local television. Connor continues to write,
produce, record, perform at venues in-and-around the Syracuse area all while
pursuing degrees in cinema studies and audio production.
