Connor Dotay is a young songwriter with promise. Taking cues from diverse influences that range from the heaviness and technicality of the likes of Protest The Hero or Cynic, reaching back to the roots of the giants of blues, jazz, and classical, and delivering it all with the endearing sentiment of Jeff Buckley or Elliott Smith, he attempts to create a captivating and impacting emotional experience. Given his tender age of to date (2012) only 19, his songs express a mature understanding of the craft that makes one hopeful of his future.
