Jeff Connors was born in Van Nuys California. He is one of four sons of Chuck and Elizabeth Connors. (His mother Elizabeth was a popular model in Canada).

Jeff grew up in Woodland Hills, California - San Fernando Valley.

Jeff has a lot of fond memories of his dad. Like the time his father hit a home run and the ball
landed in his brother Mike’s stroller.
(Chuck Connors was at one time a professional baseball player prior to his days as
Lucas McCain, “The Rifleman”)

Another great memory with Chuck was when he was little he would often be with his dad on the Rifleman set.  In between takes he would often jump into his Dad's arms from different heights yelling “in flight” and Chuck would catch him.
Jeff was in three episodes of The Rifleman ~
'Tension' - 'The Schoolmaster' and 'First Wages.' 

Jeff is an accomplished singer/songwriter. 
 First song was called “Teach Me.” It took him 15 minutes to write.

 Jeff has very fond family memories of CBS television coming over to their house to do
a documentary of Chuck’s personal life with the whole family during The Rifleman years.
(Zane Grey aired on CBS, which debuted The Sharpshooter,
The Rifleman debuted on ABC - Four Stars Production)
 Jeff says growing up with the name Connors was always a good thing and he has always been proud of it. He will tell you he has nothing negative to say about being a movie star’s son.
“It was cool being The Rifleman’s real son,” said Jeff.

 Jeff is a self taught musician and started to play music when he was 22. Waylon, Vern Gosdin, Merle Haggard, Hank Jr., David Allan Coe was Jeff's mentors. 
Jeff has played with such artists as Russ Freeman, Jeff's first guitar player at the age of nineteen—out of Nashville.  Russ was by far the best jazz player and one of the most talented Country guitar players in the business.  Jeff was and will always be very honored and proud to have had Russ by his side.  Other guitar players would sneak into watch Russ play and their jaws would drop with amazement. 
Jeff wants to say to Russ from the heart.....thank you!  I will always treasure the great times we played together.  Russ was also the founder of the very famous group 'The Rippingtons'.  
Jeff has also played with Boo Bernstein who played Petal Steel for Freddie Fender, and a special hug to Rance Wasson—who played with Waylon for several years.  Jeff was honored to play with Rance for 5 years.  Rance has a dynamite voice and was nicknamed  "Razzi Dazzle" because he would always dazzle the audience.
A special thanks also goes to John Bidozio who played with Dolly Parton and has taught Petal Steel—much thanks to John!  I consider John to be one of the best Steel players in the world.  I was very, very honored to play with John!
Jeff also has played with Dwight Yoakum, Hutch Hutchinson (bass player for Bonnie Raitt), and Jack Daniels (lead guitar for the band Highway 101).

 Jeff was honored to play with Cary Park, one of the best players in the business & most of all one of the nicest guys.  Cary was with Boy Howdy and many other famous artist. 

Guitarist Howard Yearwood a fine musician, fine producer, and a fine gentleman.

Jeff is single and living in the LA area.  He has three children, Thomas Jeffrey, Cole Michael and his precious little angel Nicole Marie.  He is a very open and honest man who loves talking to his fathers fans. Jeff Connors wrote and recorder a very timeless piece of American music called “Let’s Stand Behind Our Country”. The song is a very patriotic tribute to the trials, strengths, and heritage of the USA. He wants the American people to finally hear this song as we proudly reflect on the greatness of our nation.
