This incredible masterpiece “Ghosts” from Conor & The Wild Hunt, is going to leave you stuck on repeat for a long long time. There is an amazing and solid level of songwriting that shines up through this song and the vocal performance is incredibly professional. We have enjoyed listening to their vocals until the last second, and our favorite part is when the bridge picks up smoothly to reach an explosive and anthemic chorus at 2:35. The melodies are so beautiful and the production work is polished and smart. The song draws a new atmosphere and emotion with every listens. Such a wonderful piece of art!
ABOUT THE BAND:
Conor & The Wild Hunt animates soulful original songs with fresh perspectives on Americana, Folk, and pop traditions. They encompass a wide dynamic range, from contemplative cinematic ballads to anthemic explosive peaks, with story-weaving lyrics, artful and driving instrumentation, impassioned duets, blooming three part harmonies, and a compelling stage presence. The band consists of three professional and committed multi-instrumentalist musicians working together to create immersive musical experiences.
Conor Brendan, 26, is a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter and composer/arranger in folk pop, Americana, and adjacent generes.

Conor is also an activist and a water protector who spent a month on the front lines of Standing Rock. During this time, he performed in multiple concerts to support the Sioux Nation, solo and accompanying One Tribe and Peter Yarrow. As a child, Brendan’s first dreamed of directing films, which makes it all the more satisfying now that he is co-directing a narrative short film set to four of his original songs.
Chris Elvidge, 24, began playing drums at age six, consistently practicing and developing his musicianship ever since. He earned his degree in Jazz Performance from Towson University. While a drummer first, Elvidge is a self-trained vocalist and pianist.

Lena Traynham, 25, has been an aspiring musician since she was born, starting performing with her father, Harry Traynham, around the age of eleven. Continuing her vocal career as time went on, she was granted a golden ticket to Hollywood on American Idol two years in a row. This opened doors to experiences such as performing at The Orpheum Theater and the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, California. Aside from Idol, she has had a number of recording opportunities at Cue Studios and Omega Recording Studio. She has also performed at many venues such as Lollapalooza Music Festival, Beat Kitchen, Metro, The Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon at RFK Stadium, The State Theater, Part Wolf, Epicure Cafe, The National Mall, Rams Head, and many more.
