Conner Mack "Reverend" Tribble was born in Thompson Georgia, the same hometown as blues legend blind Willie McTell. There must be something in the water there, because by the time Conner was ten years old he had already played in a show with Rock'n Roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis. 

Conner went to high school in Athens Georgia and was later referred to in an article as "The Godfather of Punk", years before Athens became the famous music town it now is. He moved to New York City, where local musicians were soon calling him, "The Best Frontman They Had Ever Seen", due to his insightful, hilarious rocking songs, fun onstage banter, and searing musical energy. Conner honed his act performing at places like the "Cafe' wha?", where Jimi Hendrix did the same thing years before.
