The Folk Project Troubadour Acoustic Concert Series presents Connor Garvey and Becca Stevens

Connor Garvey has been touring nationally since 2009, performing at some of the country’s most respected folk festivals and venues including Kerrville New Folk Festival, Rocky Mountain Folks Fest, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, and Club Passim. He’s shared stages with artists like Brett Dennen, Tall Heights, The Ballroom Thieves, Catie Curtis, John Gorka, Ellis Paul, and David Wilcox. Onstage, Garvey is driven by the shared, spontaneous moments that can only come from live performance. He thrives in the intimacy and connection best observed in the brief space between the last note of a song and the applause – when audience and artist alike share a moment of reflection of the common experience.
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.

Becca Stevens is a GRAMMY-nominated songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer whose music blends Appalachian folk, jazz, and experimental indie into an emotionally resonant, genre-defying sound. Raised in a deeply musical family in North Carolina, she began performing at age two and developed a voice that The Bluegrass Situation calls “conservatory-trained, but utterly unique.” A longtime collaborator with artists including Jacob Collier, David Crosby, Taylor Eigsti, and Attacca Quartet, she has contributed to GRAMMY-winning projects, premiered works at Carnegie’s Zankel Hall, and written for film, choral ensembles, and celebrated jazz composers. Stevens has carved a voice and sound that are instantly recognizable—at once tender, agile, and emotionally rooted. Her work has resonated deeply with a generation of musicians navigating life beyond genre.
