"Reminiscent of recent feminist-inspired albums by Sara Bareilles and The Highwomen, the bulk of Britt Connors' third album Longitude is the politest musical 'screw you' ever recorded. Her lyrics are incisive and the range of musical styles on show is impressive."
- Adele Buchanan, Novelist
Hey out there -- thanks for stopping by! The "new" record "Longitude" was released May 1, 2020, but in many ways, it feels still like a secret... Releasing a record during a pandemic is an interesting challenge, but we look forward to hearing your reactions as you get to hear it. You can purchase it HERE! Beautiful, blue vinyl is now also available for all you vinyl lovers! We have a new video for "Carry You" that you can catch above, or head to the video page to hear "I Was Only Dreaming," another track off the latest record.
All shows are still suspended for the foreseeable future, but we have upped our Live Streaming game and have tried to make each one better... We had so much fun in warmer months, doing some backyard concerts/streams in lieu of album release shows. Some of these are archived in their entirety at the Britt Connors Music FB Page - even if you don't have an account.
Since the colder weather had pushed us indoors, we hadn't been doing so much live-streaming, but we hope to be booking more livestreams and (fingers crossed!) in-person outdoor shows soon! Please do check the SHOWS page for all updates! Meanwhile, please take care of yourselves and your family in this stressful time - if music helps you, you can always head over to the music page to take a listen or to purchase our tunes, or stream on Spotify!
You can also join the email list above or on any page here to get the latest updates - we can't wait to see you out there, in person, someday.... but, stay tuned as we get creative about more live streaming and some new music :)
Your physically but not musically distant friend,
Britt

We are excited to do a livestream from home for our beloved Blue in Portland, Maine - we will split the proceeds with them, in order to help them stay alive through the pandemic. Even if you don't have Facebook (or have been trying to avoid it!), you can still go directly to their page to see the show. Donations can be made at https://www.paypal.me/portcityblue
While gigs are non-existent and outdoor opportunities are shut down for the cold season, we are going to mask up and ventilate the room in order to play a set from home for Rockwood Music Hall in NYC - on their Facebook page (which you can still access even if you're not on FB, by the way!). We can't wait to someday get back to their cozy stage in NYC, but until then... we and they need your help. We are hoping they will make it through this hard time and still BE there when we can come back! If you click the link below, you can RSVP so that you will be reminded as it gets closer, and you can even donate ahead of time with the "tickets" button at that link. Thanks for supporting live music and the venues that host us - someday we'll be able to commune in person again, but we can't do that without your help. Can't wait to see you on a cozy Tuesday January night :) https://www.eventbrite.com/e/britt-connors-facebook-live-thank-you-for-your-generous-donation-tickets-133256833777
