The Connells

In October 2009, when The Connells performed 'New Boy' live at the Mother Earth Brewing Company in Kinston, North Carolina, they were reviving a connection that spanned nearly two decades. By this time, they had just released their album 'Old School Dropouts' in 2009, marking a return to the music scene after a brief hiatus. This album, infused with their signature jangle-pop sound, hinted at a matured perspective while keeping that nostalgic essence fans adored. Interestingly, this performance captures the band's enduring charm and the energetic vibe they bring to live shows, a testament to their ability to engage audiences even years after their initial rise to fame. Memories from their earlier hits, like 'Stone Cold Yesterday' and 'Slackjawed,' surely lingered in their setlist, showcasing how these seasoned musicians balance their past with their present.
