My co-worker and i ran thru some bands/artists/movements in music around the NYC/Tri-State area.We cant come w/ anything for Conn.I'd imagine some strain of Punk in the 80's????I know about the Hip Hop - Skinny Boys & Stezo...?

Also, J-Rocc is originally from Bridgeport, so there's that. And Egon's from CT as well.
If you want a real head-scratcher, try naming anything worthwhile from Westchester.
Yeah, Egon put it together and released it on Stones Throw. It was heavy on the "I said rip, rap, the rippity rap, rip-rap-rippity-roo" steez.
John Mayer can go to hell. And when Connecticut people say "hell," what they mean is "New Jersey."
Moby
Thurston Moore
Dawn Robinson
Money Earnin Mount Vernon and Now Rule(New Rochelle) are in Westchester County.
Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth - Heavy D & The Boys - Brand Nubian.....
whatever - no hijack....Connecticut
Don't ask how I know the Carpenters are from CT...
So....
Long Island = Billy Joel
New Jersey = Bruce Springsteen
Connecticut = Michael Bolton
EDIT: And Horace Silver was born there.
....and it's borderline unlistenable.
Whoah, I had no idea--New London is on the rise!
"If only", says the guy sitting in New London. Maybe I should bump some Cassie right now.
Yeah ... CT hasn't produced much.
For the jazz dudes, there's Thomas Chapin. Or William Hooker, if you're into outsider drummers. You can add Dooley O that ever so massive hip hop list.
Yep .. not much.
You got it white,,,,,I mean right!
peace,xavier
Shit, I grew up in Fairfield--at least you don't have the stain of John Mayer on your town.
I actually grew up in Wethersfield. The only people that came out of there were Cousin Larry (the boring one) on Perfect Strangers and Annabella Sciorra (Angie in Jungle Fever).
How could you guys forget "The Magic Man"? Hartford, CT representin'!!!
Marlon "The Magic Man" Starling (former World Welterweight Boxing Champion).
Oh yeah, don't forget about:
Marcus Camby (couldn't find a Trailblazer pic)-Hartford represents again!!!
Peace,
Big Stacks from Kakalak
don't forget Chad Dawson!
On the acting side, Justin Long and Peter Saarsgard are from Fairfield, and John Ratzenberger is from Bridgeport.
For ballers, Charles "Blocked Four Times" Smith is a Bridgeport guy. Rob Dibble's from Bridgeport, too, but I don't give a F*ck about baseball.
Robert Mitchum
Joe Lieberman
...wait. fukk that last dude!
