The Connells

On June 22, 1987, The Connells performed a partial set at Toad's Place in New Haven, showcasing their engaging sound during a pivotal era in their career. This live recording came right after the release of their acclaimed album "Darker Days" in 1987, which played a crucial role in propelling their popularity, particularly in college rock circles. Fans might find it fascinating that the band, originally from North Carolina, built their reputation on energetic live shows, and this concert exemplifies their lively performances during that time. The late '80s were formative for them, blending jangly guitars with thoughtful lyrics, making their music resonate with a generation seeking connection through sound. The recording, shared years later in 2021, allows a new audience to experience the magic of that night.
