Greg Connors (born December 30, 1969) is a contemporary singer-songwriter from New York City. He is friends with singer/songwriter Joseph Arthur who produced and contributed backing vocals and other instrumentation on Greg's 2006 solo album Here, There and Anymore which was released on the Scared label.
Greg Connors began writing and playing music in his early teens, acquiring his first guitar at the age of twelve.
In the early '90s, Connors relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, and met Joseph Arthur who worked as a guitar salesman at Clark Music Store. Joseph frequented the burrito restaurant Greg worked at on Peachtree Street, and the two struck up a friendship, both being burgeoning singer/songwriters. Greg played in a two piece band called Front Street with percussionist Will Fratesi, playing local clubs in and around Atlanta.
Drummer and studio recordist David Watkins was a co-worker of Greg's at the mid-town Atlanta burrito joint. In 1995 he persuaded Greg to come into his home studio with his band Front Street to record. They recorded tracks directly to 8-track reel to reel the songs that would eventually become the studio album Talkin' Dirty, released in a limited run in 1999 by Scared Records.
Within the next few years Front Street broke up, and Greg Connors continued recording solo work, documenting his evolving compositions at David Watkins' home studios as well as Joseph Arthur's. These recordings would later be compiled to form the album Wide Awake Drunk, also released by Scared Records in 2000.
Connors was friends with many notable Atlanta musicians during this time, and recorded a duet with Benjamin Smoke entitled Independence Day which was released as a bonus track on Greg's first CD, Fluke EP.
