CRITIC’S PICK: Sean McConnell, Vinyl—Initially known as a songwriter for others (including Meat Loaf!), McConnell has been keeping the best material for himself since his 2000 debut. Now with nearly a dozen albums under his name, his warm, sometimes folk-rocking tunes, have been touching audiences with their intimate, introspective words, many about feeling insecure in the world. 2021s A Horrible Beautiful Dream, which he’ll be featuring tonight, is arguably McConnell’s most potent collection but everything he sings is impressive. Request the poignant, gorgeous, affecting ballad “Leave the Light On,” a highlight of his recent collection. — Hal Horowitz
From the venue:
Singer, songwriter and producer Sean McConnell’s latest collection of songs A Horrible Beautiful Dream approaches the difficult task of asking questions of what one really thinks they know, in the simultaneous struggle of not being afraid of the answers that emerge. Musically, the project wraps McConnell’s rich voice in moments of dark intimacy as well as vivid brightness, and guests such as The Wood Brothers, Natalie Hemby, Audra Mae and Dan Tyminski underscore McConnell’s versatility as creative partner and commentator. McConnell’s goal in the creation of A Horrible Beautiful Dream was an album reflecting the chaotic time in which it was made, but still striving for timelessness. “You can look at the suffering of the world and you can look at the beauty of the world and you can hold them in your hands and just be present with that and not have to even understand it,” he saysAt Vinyl
