Career
He is best known for the hits A Little Further North and Let The Canefields Burn. He wrote the lyrics for the Paralympic Anthem. Most recently, he was awarded Album of the Year at the 2011 Tamworth Country Music Festival for Still Walking.
Graeme commenced his music career in the mid-70"s doing support vocals for many well-known acts of the day, including Kris Kristofferson and Sherbet.
He eventually recorded his first album And When Morning Comes which received a respectable amount of good reviews. During the late-70"s through late-80"s, Connors wrote songs that became big hits for Slim Dusty, John Denver and Jon English.
By 1988, Graeme had recorded and released the breakthrough single "A Little Further North" to be featured on his first album on the Australian American Broadcasting Company Records label "North". Subsequent singles followed with the releases of "Let The Canefields Burn", "Cyclone Season", "Sicilian Born" and "A Heartache (Or Two)".
"North" remains one of the best-selling Australian country albums of all time.
