Biography:

Connan originally started a "blues-pop" band whilst living in Wellington, New Zealand, known as Connan and the Mockasins. The group consisted of Connan Hosford (vocals, guitar), Ross Walker (upright acoustic bass) and Seamus Ebbs (drums).
In April–May 2006, the band released their second EP, Uuu It's Teasy, and toured New Zealand to promote the album.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This one's fingerstyle - generally alternate between the higher and lower strings on each beat when
playing, e.g. (6-x-x-6-6-6) and (6-x-6-6-6-x), or (x-x-3-1-2-1) and (x-1-3-1-2-x); just go with the flow
and the rhythm should make sense.
The licks I've tabbed out are just rough versions (they change slightly); place them where you hear them in
the song. In the intro, only the second half of the verse lick is played. The lyrics are auto added and some
are wrong, but I'm not sure what the correct replacements would be. Cheers!
