About Me

We threw into the same room one at a time, a jazz pianist, a person who strikes all kind of strings and things and sings, a sensational and sensitive drummer (not an impossibility as it turns out), and a person with a weakness for rhymes. Shut the door, ignored the pounding, threats and pitiful attempts at bargaining ... result: the Jo Connor Band. JCB combines diverse musical backgrounds and loves and even hates of the members (and each can be one when he wants to be) to create a sound with some familiarity (like Vigil / Here Today) and some oblique offshoots including local favorites All Creeds and X for Eyes. The band performs classic Vigil songs along with new faves.
