From selling out local shows at just 13 years old to playing festival stages across the globe, Conor Gains has always been a unique and driving voice in Canadian Soul. Catching the attention of the late Les Paul, he was invited to play on stage at the famous Iridium Jazz Club in NYC alongside him — this kicked off performances at Montreal Jazz Festival, Rock The Park (London), Massey Hall, Kitchener Blues, and more.
The award-winning artist from Cambridge, Ontario caught his stride with his debut EP Three, co-produced with Mike Wise (Ellie Goulding, James Blunt), released via Wax Records. With millions of streams across platforms, two songs in the Top 25 Alt-Rock Radio chart, and love from American Sirius Blues & Rock radio, Gains self-released his second full length album Good Time Buddies in May of 2025 alongside a standout performance at Meadows Music Festival.
Over the years Conor has shared stage and opened for acts including Marc Ford (Black Crowes), Kaleo, Glorious Sons, Big Wreck, Feist, Colin Linden, Daniel Lanois and many more. Already creating a massive buzz across Canada and the US, it is clear that there was a lane ready and waiting for an artist like Conor Gains. As real and raw as it gets, Conor is the true definition of a road warrior, playing close to 200 shows a year.
Now with a team behind him, the right music, and the right moment - this singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist (pedal steel anyone!?) and producer is quickly becoming known as Canada’s next big thing. Authentic, organic, and out-of-the-box, Conor Gains has no desire to follow the pack. This is definitely a journey you will want to follow.
