meet the band

The Connor Party is a group of musicians who have become a fixture and a favorite around Northern California, Nevada and beyond. They are known for their playful banter and their ability to play almost any request you throw at them - and play it well. The group has performed over a hundred weddings in the last 4 years. They can be professional for a corporate event, or silly for a backyard house party. But they are always going to make the average night special and the special night spectacular!

Their song list spans six decades and nearly every genre of music. If you want a night of only 90s or only classic rock or only funky dance songs for 4 hours the Connor Party will not run out of songs in any of those categories. The Connor Party is not always the same exact group of musicians, it is Jeff Connor and then the best musicians that Connor can surround himself with. This makes for many different possibilities to create the exact group to fit the event you’re hosting.

They call Lake Tahoe home, but you can catch The Connor Party in Truckee, Reno, Sacramento, the Bay Area, Monterey, Napa and beyond.

Even as a solo act he brings the energy of a full band. But he always surrounds himself with the best musicians he can for his band or duo arrangements.

Whether playing solo or with a group, Jeff’s favorite part about performing is connecting with the crowd and contributing to the magic of the gathering. But he does it in a seamless, carefree way that adds to the contagious good energy.

At the heart of the band is front man and multi-instrumentalist Jeff Connor. He has been called a human jukebox. But the key word is human. He’s an entertainer that has been doing this for a long time. He reads the room and delivers whatever is needed to make the night more special and fun.

His voice is rich and soulful. Whether you want background music at a corporate event, or a fully raucous rock and roll at a late night bar scene and all occasions in between, Connor delivers what you may not have even known you were missing.

we play to the mood

Did we mention we love taking requests? That’s because we have a catalog of songs from Elvis to Eminem from ABBA to Zach Bryan. We’ll match our energy with the atmosphere and your vision for the event and make sure the music only elevates the event.

  • Even 10 days on, we are still buzzing about how much damn fun that party was. People will not stop talking about the Connor Party. Uncle Jack recalled, "Even the Seniors were dancing til the end!". We've already had two engaged couples who were in attendance ask for your information. The set list has been framed and is hanging on our wall. And in the words of my dad (and several others), "whatever you guys paid the Connor Party, they were worth double."

  • Jeff was the absolute best, we hired him for our Tahoe wedding in October of 2022. He met with us in person to see what style of music we liked and he tailored his set list exactly how we wanted it. He even learned and perfected a few songs that weren’t on his list. He played live during our ceremony and the reception. Our friends and family still rave about what an incredible performance he put on. 10/10 I highly recommend The Connor Party for any wedding, party, or special event. Nothing but first class service, incredible energy, and the perfect addition to our special day!

  • The Connor Party was the perfect choice for a wedding band. They were helpful, flexible, professional, and friendly every step of the way. Jeff helped us a ton by providing a standard wedding outline (processional, recessional, first dances, etc.), which included opportunities for personalization that we hadn’t really thought about. He worked with us to incorporate special requests (i.e. instrumental versions and acoustics vs. full band electric tunes), They made our most important selections into a surprise playlist full of perfect dance songs, both fast and slow. If you’re searching for a wedding band (or band for any event), stop your search now and reach out to The Connor Party.

  • The Connor Party is hands down, our favorite band in Lake Tahoe! Jeff is beyond talented— not to mention friendly and personable. He will play most any song you request, or learn it on the spot if he can. We hired Jeff to play solo for an intimate backyard anniversary party and our guests are still talking about the music and how it made the whole night truly magical. He learned their first dance song from 40 years ago at his own suggestion to make it more meaningful. We will definitely hire him or his band again!

  • The Connor Party played at our wedding, and it was truly magical. Jeff met with us beforehand to dial in our setlist requests and made it easy for us to share ideas leading up to the night. The highlight of the wedding was the band playing The Hora! It set the jubilant tone for the rest of the reception and all of our Jewish family members said it was the best one yet. We had so much fun, we skipped the cake cutting so the band could play on!

  • Yeah, anyone can get married, my (now) wife is great and all, but the real highlight of the wedding was Jeff's mellifluous voice when he sang all our favourite songs, including ones he learned just for the day, and his originals which are on another level. You could have a boring wedding, or you can get Mr Connor and his killer band to play!

    Crystal and Harrison | South Lake Tahoe, CA

  • The connor party is simply the best! No matter the venue or setting, Jeff is always entertaining, engaging, and provides so much variety and fun. We love the Connor party and could not recommend them highly enough!

  • I initially met the Connor Party at a friend's wedding in Lake Tahoe. My husband, friends, and I enjoyed them so much, I decided I NEEDED them at my wedding. Music can make or break a wedding. The Connor Party absolutely MADE our wedding. They played our processional for our ceremony, our first dances, and of course, the dancing portion. I had multiple guests come up to me and enthusiastically tell me that our band was the best they'd ever seen at a wedding. The Connor Party even took guests' requests in real time and played them WELL. They even added funny little details about the night into a few songs. My heart felt so full in the moments when I looked around to see our dancefloor packed with guests of all ages the entire night!
