The Case of Gretta Conners (CGC)

Post-Nuke Thrill Seekers Lookin' For A Kick.

About Me



The Case of Gretta Conners was first opened by video artist Stevie C. in 2003.
Originally an experimental vehicle for Steve's video work, it became something much more intense.
As time progressed the project matured into what it is today: Accessible, fun music with layers of complexity to thrill the ear as well as the mind.
Toe-tapping, head bopping art.
Sonically influenced by the synth-pop sounds of the 80's, the emotional throws of 70's post-punk, and the simple beauty of 60's garage rock The Case of Gretta Conners creates a truly unique, smooth hybrid for the 21st century.
The Case of Gretta Conners has developed a diverse and significant fan-base who know each unique show is not to be missed!
CGC's live shows are best described as jaw-dropping, multi-sensory performances lead by the extraordinary Stevie C.
Won't you come along for the ride?
We are a very friendly band, so come talk to us!

Take another Klonopin and dive back down.
Do not take the elevator.
