Event Details

Join us as award-winning singer-songwriter Connor Garvey brings along a full band to celebrate his new album release. Special guest Ben Cosgrove.


Connor Garvey is an award-winning singer-songwriter from Portland, Maine, with the amiable presence of an entertainer, the lyrical depth of a poet, and the enchantment of a storyteller.  Garvey leaves audiences uplifted and inspired through a positive message delivered in a way The Portland Press Herald says "proves you can be optimistic and self-aware without being boring." 


This combination of songwriting and performance strength helped Garvey make his music scene start with numerous awards including being named winner of the Kerrville New Folk, Rocky Mountain Folks Fest, SolarFest, Wildflower Art and Music Festival and Maine Songwriters Association songwriting competitions, voted as Most Wanted artist at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, nominated for Best Male Performer in the New England Music Awards, and a top new singer songwriter by Sirius XM's The Coffeehouse. He has since gone on to perform around the country at many of the most notable folk/acoustic venues, festival stages, and teaching songwriting at some of the more distinguished song schools. 


While the pandemic brought a sharp drop in live performances, Connor dedicated his time to finishing an acoustic EP in 2020 and a full length band album (to be titled: Another End of a Year) being released this summer. Both of these projects were recorded locally in Portland featuring some of the area's best gigging and recording artists. Connor has made a name for himself as a solo artist but this 2022 release, and the shows that accompany it, highlight the band that has been the backbone of Connor's albums since 2011 and closest musical collaborators. Audiences should expect the same dedication to the intimate song delivery but allow themselves the opportunity to get lost in the rhythms and textures that these exceptional musicians bring to the experience. 


This show at The Word Barn will be one of the first album release shows of the summer for Connor and his band and the first chance for audiences to hear all of the songs from the album played live in their fullest form. This show is prior to the official digital release of the album to the greater world making it a special “sneak peak” show where you can be the first to have the new music in hand when you leave.
