Jeff Connor grew up in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. The son of a piano/flutist mother and an audiophile father, Jeff started playing piano at age fourteen and moved into guitar a year later. He did have some formal training on guitar…he was kicked out of his only guitar lesson after about fifteen minutes and was taken under the musical wing of his brother. Through his father and brother, Jeff was immersed in the works of Bob Dylan and Lou Reed and learned every song available to him by the iconic singer/songwriters. After attending Cornell in Ithaca, Jeff found a cozy home in his Ford Ranger and earned a living busking all over the country. He eventually landed in Lake Tahoe, California one Winter, and while reconnecting with his childhood passion of ski racing, met John Munroe…

Black Oaks has been a revolving door centered around singer/songwriter Kristian Peterson.  Founded circa 2010 in Plymouth, NH, Black Oaks really took off when Peterson moved to South Tahoe in 2015.  With the newest member Sean Hodge, Black oaks has infiltrated the local live music scene in Tahoe. Hodge and Peterson were lucky enough to meet by chance and the rest has been musical bliss.  Playing together since the spring of 2016, Hodge and Peterson have really found their groove and continue to enjoy every performance opportunity that comes their way. Black Oaks sound is inspired by but not limited to classic rock, blues, folk, bluegrass, and jam bands.  Check them out at various locations in Heavenly Village on the weekends.

I love playing and singing soulful, eclectic music. I've honed my sound performing professiinal for 20 years. From Joe Cocker to Sam Smith, James Taylor to Ray Lamontagne, the music and the messages from legendary singer songwriters lives in me. If you like acoustic music with a backbone and soul in your ears, I can lift you with my performance. I have plenty of originals to add to the mix too. Thanks for listening.
