Connor Young + Cricket Blue
Advertisement
Connor Young, a Vermont-born trumpeter, composer, songwriter, and educator whose work blends jazz and folk traditions, joins forces with Cricket Blue, an indie chamber folk duo known for crafting songs so moving they might make you weep into your tomatoes.
Connor Young:
A Vermont-born trumpeter, composer, songwriter, and educator whose work moves fluidly between jazz and folk. A graduate of McGill University in Montréal with a degree in Jazz Performance, Young has become a distinctive voice on the Vermont music scene, releasing four albums over the past three years.
His most recent release, From Me to You Vol. 2 (2026), represents his boldest and most personal statement to date. The album has been reviewed by multiple publications, with arts writer Tom Huntington calling it a “masterful magnum opus” that “seals his status as one of the more intriguing musical artists around.” Young’s music emphasizes atmosphere, narrative, and human connection, often blending jazz improvisation, folk songwriting, and modern indie sensibilities. His recent releases have solidified his reputation as a singular, independent artist with a distinctive and evolving voice.
Whether on stage, in the studio, or in the classroom, his work is rooted in curiosity, craft, and a commitment to making music that feels lived-in, honest, and deeply human.
Cricket Blue:
NPR Music calls Laura Heaberlin and Taylor Smith of Cricket Blue “master storytellers”, and the All Scene Eye says Cricket Blue “sets a new standard for fiction-folk.” In 2019, the duo released their first full-length album, Serotinalia, to widespread praise, and were voted “Best Folk Group” in Vermont’s Seven Daysie Awards. As a response to the interruption of live music in 2020, the duo spearheaded a series of elaborately-arranged covers of songs from the Over the Garden Wall soundtrack, which have since earned a small but enthusiastic international following. They have played stages and festivals around the United States and Canada and are working on their second full-length album.
