The Droptines
The Droptines are an alternative country band born in Concan, Texas. Established in
2019 by frontman/songwriter/musician, Conner Arthur, also known as “The King of Concan”.
This band puts in the work taking none of the traditional or convenient routes when crafting
songs.
Blending a multitude of genres, while tethering each song together with a specific
vernacular native to the Texas Hill Country, results in a broad range of authentic, versatile
melodies. Add Conner’s rich voice and layered lyrics, and you have storytelling at its finest.
From biblical themes, raunchy truths, and primitive questions to one’s existence, it is clear,
Shakespeare has made his way to the trailer park.
From the hard-hitting anthem “New Girl” to the heart wrenching melody “As Your Heart
Breaks” to the opulent masterpiece “Raining Where You Are”, combined with a down to earth
yet captivating stage presence, this band takes you on quite the ride.
“Once every decade or so someone comes along, takes the bar and sets it way higher than any
of us could dream of. Conner is the new gold standard of songwriting. He’s witty, visceral and
ties it all up with an unshakable knack for melody. It’s an honor to be alive at the same time as
this generational talent.” - David Beck
“Conner‘s ability to write songs that meld raw emotion with detailed imagery is something I feel
only few songwriters have. His songs make you think long after you’ve stopped listening, and
the characters he writes about live in your mind forever.” - William Beckmann
What is a Droptine you might ask? It’s a rare downward pointing antler found on a white
tail deer, the one to watch for, and a nod to the environment and upbringing of the group.

Conner Arthur, front man
Dillon Sampson, bass
Donny Parkinson, lead guitar
Johnny Sheets, drums

These guys have enjoyed sharing a stage with many popular artists including Turnpike
Troubadours, Chris Stapleton and Zach Bryan.

and Apple Music.
