about

A wonderful celebration of the late Connor Tolson. Riders of Sin is a compilation of some of his best work...

This is the music of a hobbit named Connor Michael Tolson. A gentle Aquariuan boy with his head in the clouds, his bare feet in the grass, and an infamous missing-tooth smile. A musician, a lover, a kind soul, a writer, a sleeper innerer, a space traveller, a giggler, a friend. Old of soul, but young of heart.

A lover of simple pleasures, Con would get excited over just about anything. A good op shop find, a new record, a new band he'd found or an odd type of plant he'd learnt about on Wikipedia, which was always open on his laptop. Though not too fond of school, Connor loved to learn about things he was passionate or curious about. He loved drawing and writing, and he'd never leave the house without a sketch book and water bottle in his back pack, along with a couple of tea bags of earl grey at the bottom. Tea was a big thing for Connor, with his own special brew of earl grey and black, on which he'd average about 7 cups a day along with at least 1 cheese toasty.

He was encouraging of all his friends' music, and so humble about his own. His way of writing songs and playing music was unique and magical; something to be proud of. Writing songs came so organically and naturally to him, he could have a new song in 5 minutes and he loved to jam with his friends. Connor could play almost any instrument he picked up, he even blew a bit on his grandpa's trumpet that was one of the many treasured instruments in his bungalow.

A talent beyond his own recognition, a person who was kind without expecting anything in return, and someone who made us all a little happier. For those who knew him, it was an honour to be a part of his life. And for those who didn't, may his music be your introduction. May you get to know him through it, and may it take you to a place of imagination and magic, a place he lived for 21 years.

...Working under the moniker 'Riders of Sin' he released 7 albums and 4 EPs from 2010 - 2015, which can all be found here free of charge. connortolson.bandcamp.com
