Tony Award-nominated songwriter Tommy Conners started playing gigs in Houston and Beaumont, Texas as a teenager. By the time he began studying agriculture at Sam Houston State University, Tommy was a veteran of beer joints and ballrooms throughout South East Texas. During college he turned to songwriting, and when he left school, he returned to his hometown of Houston and began playing singer songwriter clubs. Inspired by friends Mickey Newbury and Gene Thomas, Tommy’s compositions took on a storytelling tone, highly visual slices of life, whether of the rowdy roadhouse world or poignant personal relationships. He began making frequent trips to Tennessee to write and pitch songs in Nashville, eventually capturing the ear of producer Bob Montgomery, who encouraged him to make the move to Music City. Tommy’s first cut after arriving in Nashville,“The Highway” was recorded first by Mickey Newbury, who had long been a fan of the composition and later by Willie Nelson,. Both cuts were released to critical acclaim. Tommy has had songs recorded by artists including Willie Nelson, Ricky Scaggs, Kenny Rogers, Neil McCoy, Ty Herndon, Travis Tritt , Patty Loveless , Diamond Rio,  John Michael Montgomery, Chris LeDoux , Trace Adkins, The Imperials, Burrito Deluxe, The Little River Band, Craig Campbell, Montgomery Gentry and others. In 2003 his song “Git It,” written with Roger Brown, was nominated for a Tony Award from the Broadway Musical Urban Cowboy. In 2016 he was awarded the CMA Of Texas Ambassador Award and in 2017 Songwriter Of The Year. His song “Halfway To Houston” co-written with Danny Wells and recorded by James Lann went to  #1 on Billboard’s Texas Chart. Tommy is proud to be writing with great new artists and had songs recorded by   Austin Moody, James Lann, Drew Fish, Wynn Williams, Matt Castillo and Aaron Copeland.

Currently, Tommy is working on songs with long time co-writers Roger Brown and Jack Williams for TV and Film. Recently his song ‘Whiskey And Water’,  co-written with old friends Bernie Nelson, Mark McGuinn and produced by McGuinn, has been recorded as a duet by legendary golfer John Daly and Willie Nelson. He currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee with his wife Paige and daughters McKenna and Morgan. Tommy is extremely proud to be his sister Donna’s biggest fan and a part of this most worthy foundation.
