Sean Mcconnell w/ Support from Olivia Wolf at Eddie's Attic

From the venue:

Sean McConnell live at Eddie's Attic w/ support from Olivia Wolf!

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 says.

Olivia Wolf is a Northern California native now based in Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee, whose music bridges bluegrass tradition, folk storytelling, and modern Americana. Drawing on time spent in Virginia and the Appalachian region, Wolf blends West Coast perspective with roots-driven songwriting to create a sound that feels both classic and contemporary.

Her debut album, Silver Rounds (January 17, 2025), produced by Sean McConnell, explores themes of loss, resilience, and spiritual connection through deeply personal narratives.

Wolf has earned early critical acclaim, with Billboard praising her for “transcending the boundaries between the temporal and the ethereal,” and Ann Powers noting that she has “the voice, the attitude, and the band to go places.” She has also been described as “a female version of early Sturgill Simpson.”

Olivia Wolf is currently in the studio working on her sophomore album, scheduled for release 2027.
