DIGITAL ONLY!-Weathervane Records is proud to announce singer songwriter’s twelfth album No Where! Kevin Connolly is an award-winning singer, songwriter, and recording artist with twelve albums of original material and an international touring history. His songs have been featured in major motion pictures and film, earning him recognition for his gritty and evocative storytelling. His latest release, No Where , marks a return to a simpler, acoustic-driven sound, echoing the spirit of sixties folksingers such as Bob Dylan and John Prine. The album’s thirteen songs blend personal reflection with vivid character studies, capturing both intimate moments and the unpredictability of the world today. From the dystopian title track to the flood-soaked metaphor of "Here Comes the Rain," Connolly crafts a landscape that is both haunting and deeply human. The Boston Globe has praised his writing as filled with “intensity and grit,” and No Where expands on that legacy with songs of love, loss, and resilience. Connolly will be out on the road supporting this new release this year- in the past he has played Newport Folk and Kerrville Folk, as well as colleges and coffeehouses nationwide. In addition to music, Connolly has recently turned some of his creative energy to acting, appearing in many independent films and actively auditioning for national television and film roles. Connolly’s first album of original material in five years will only be a digital only release available on all streaming platforms and for download purchase at www.kevinconnolly.com.

No Where was recorded and co-produced by studio veteran and long time collaborator Chris Rival (Peter Wolf, Paula Cole, Lori McKenna) at Middleville Studios outside of Boston. Using vintage microphones and processing equipment all of the tracks were recorded with no click track, no headphones, live to ‘tape’ in one day. With the focus on simplicity and being true to the song, spare instrumental embellishments were added by Rival on guitar and Jim Connolly on bass. As Rival says, “this is an unabashed folk album…the focus remained on the song. Nothing more or less.”

Invisible is a lot more than just a Covid pandemic piece. Invisible is the end of one thing and the beginning of another. Twelve new original tunes, recorded during  the pandemic make for a unique piece of work at an interesting and pivotal period. 'Invisible' is a  movement into a new phase of life with grown up kids, new opportunities and time to explore. Half of the songs were written pre-Covid and half during. And the songs cover a broad spectrum. The title cut ‘Invisible’ is a talking blues memory of an old friend. The Cuban influenced ‘Malecon’ is written from the perspective of an expat desperate for connection. ‘Kitchen Walls’ is about the marking of time in a family's life. And 'Lost' captures a feeling we all know with a subtle resolution.

All songs were recorded, mixed and produced by Kevin in his basement outside of Boston with tracks floated in from Frank Corby (drums) in Australia, brother James Connolly (fretless bass, toy piano, banjos etc.) in Santa Barbara and many other very talented musicians who lent a hand during this challenging but creatively rich time- including Jeff Allison, Niall Connolly, Todd Thibaud, Frank Arthor Drake, Sarah Mendelsohn, Scott Corneille, Joe Kessler and Chris Rival (who also mastered it).
