About Me

Josh O'Connor is an artist whose vocal talent and songwriting skills combine the fantasy of Sade and Roxy Music with the soul of Simply Red and the drive of Smashing Pumpkins. Josh is backed by three seasoned music vets who are no strangers to big stages and success. Anthony Parrulli (drums) performs as a Blueman in the Blueman Group, Charles Henry (lead guitar) performs in the Blueman Group band, and Graham McLachlan (bass) also plays for Blueman Group. In the studio Josh has worked with Jason Cupp (Evanescence, Avril Lavigne, Finch), Eddie Kramer (Jimi Hendrix, Peter Frampton, Led Zepplin), and Matty Green (Fall Out Boy, Gym Class Heros) to dial in his sound. Josh is currently completing his full length debut album due out spring 2007.
