Inspired at a young age by a line in “The Musical Life of Gustav Mole,” Connor decided that the cello was the best instrument to fulfill the childhood rule of picking one. Since then, he has remained in his four-stringed lane and chosen bass. Mostly because the bass is so much cooler than the guitar, and the other two strings are scary.
The former lawn care technician, now mechanical engineer, loves long walks on the beach, trees, surfing, and breathing underwater via tubes and a tank. If you see him in the wild, ask him about the shark he saw. These interests brought him to the wonderful metropolis of Nanaimo.
He met Shel at the Vault Open Mic, where he braved the 2 extra strings and sang “Her Majesty,” to which Shel responded (along the lines) with “who plays that at an open mic, I like that song.” A couple of years later, after pondering over a Costco hot dog, Connor asked Shel if she was looking for a bassist, cellist, and fish enthusiast to join the band. She said, “Sure,” and here we are.
