About

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. An accomplished musician, Claydon plays guitar and harmonica which feature throughout; add to that the delights of Hammond organ and pedal steel guitar and the album as a whole will have you toe tapping along to uplifting tempos one minute, and moved by heartfelt soul searching stories the next. 

Claydon has an instant stage presence, engaging his audience from start to finish; his enthusiasm and obvious enjoyment of playing live, coupled with his talent for writing great songs makes him a powerful act to watch.

2015 has so far seen Claydon play at the O2 for C2C Country to Country festival, added to the line up for this years Isle of Wight festival and perform live on BBCRadio Solent for the launch of his latest single.  He is very much looking forward to introducing his music to Nashville during his visit this  April and playing the great venues that ‘Music City’ has to offer.     

  In the last few months Claydon has self released his brand new album 'Under The Big Sky' to great reviews with several tracks being selected for airplay on numerous radio shows such as BBCIntroducing, Amazing radio and CIUT Radio. He was recently nominated and placed 3rd in the Best of British Unsigned Music Awards 'Best Male' category and has showcased his album with several live performances including Bestival.
