A BRIEF BIOG
Stuart O'Connor Honed his style first on the electric guitar as guitarist/vocalist with progressive rock 3 piece 'My Pet Junkie' (With Julia Bell & Liam Camfield) with whom he's been a member for 8 years touring the UK extensively.
In 2006 he made a step in a new direction with the release of his 'Autonomous Debut' Album. 16 tracks which featured a great array of guest musicians who helped sculpt a record that 2BOB.co.uk called "Gentle, powerful, uplifing...quite simply a stunning Debut." 'Wake Up Call' from the record was also chosen as Single of the Week by Lemonrock.com.
The 'Autonomous Debut' Tour lasted 2 years playing 450 venues including 52 shows (3 months) touring Australia and New Zealand and also featured a jaunt as support to Ocean Colour Scene.
2008 sees the release of his second full length effort 'The Distance From Here'. Described as "A more aware record" the 13 tracks have elements of folk/Jazz/Rock/Fusion and hip hop.
Live the shows have made the progression that can only come from intense touring and with a reputaion that is growing steadily; things are feeling more positive than ever for this full time 100% independent musician.
