Conor Hearn

Conor Hearn is a Celtic and jazz guitar player who grew up studying classical violin and playing traditional Irish music in the sessions of Baltimore, MD and Washington D.C. He currently makes his home in Boston, MA, lending his innovative rhythmic skills to the panoply of groups and projects that are taking shape in the Boston area folk music scene. He has established himself as a cutting-edge Scottish and Irish plaver over the past few years playing with groups like Soulsha, The Galen Fraser Quartet, and TriHearn. While finishing up his degrees in English Literature and Music at Tufts University, he recently began touring with The Mari Black Celtic Band and is leading the charge with his new band, Pumpkin Bread, the latest celtic-chamber-funk juggernaut to emerge from the hive of musicians at Tufts and The New England Conservatory.
