Биография

For Connor Christian, frontman & principal songwriter of The Southern Gothic, life has always been about the journey. The son of an American serviceman & diplomat, that journey started at 6 months old, when his family moved from Los Angeles places such as Indonesia, South Korea, and Belgium, as well as all over the US. “I never lived anywhere long enough to think of it as a hometown, make those lifelong memories, so I learned to take little pieces from every stop and make them part of my story” That story led to stints in several other bands led, and the formation of The Southern Gothic. What started as a high energy, cover band, grew along with Connor’s writing to become the band that Billboard Magazine called it’s ‘Band on the Verge’. Ten months later, the band’s second album, ‘New Hometown’ debuted #1 on Billboard’s Heatseeker chart and #17 on it’s country albums chart with single“Sheets Down” reached #1 on CMT’s Countdown. The album, a 20-song semi-autobiographical opus, equal parts Tennessee Williams & Homer, “Tumbleweed Connection” era Elton John, Guns n Roses and Chris Stapleton - tells the story of a man looking for a home, and artist searching for his muse. With the 2020 release of the EP, Burnin’ Moonlight, Connor, and the band prove again that they will continue to evolve, unbound and unafraid to explore new territory every time out. SoGo explores the intersection of Americana, Pop, and Rock n’ Roll to create something unique and undeniable.
