Brennan Connors
Brennan Connors has been performing music in Madison and other areas of the Midwest for nearly two decades. Working primarily as a saxophonist, he has embraced a multitude of musical styles and concepts while engaged with numerous ensembles. During a four year stay in Chicago, he played with The Chicago Samba School, Chainsaw Dupont & The Blues Warriors, and a plethora of jazz groups. Brennan also led the Chicago based band Asylum, which for lack of a better term was self-classified as "groove-oriented free-jazz metal."
Currently residing in Madison, Brennan continues to work with a wide range of bands, musicians, and artists of all types. They include Brazilian music group Samba Novistas, DB Pedersen's AMOEBAGEDDON, and percussionist/vocalist/Afro-Peruvian musical innovator Juan Medrano Cotito during his visits to the Midwest. He was a regular member of bluesman James Earl Tate's band from 1999-2004. He also leads his own project, an experimental jazz trio called Brennan Connors & Stray Passage which Geoff Brady is a member of. Brennan Connors & Stray Passage released their first album in 2017 on the Italian label Setola Di Maiale.
