Connor Thuotte: Guitar driven alternative rock.


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.
