"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 Buck, Novelist
Hey out there -- thanks for stopping by! We just started recording album #4 and cannot wait to bring you new music in the next year! I'll be releasing my first single in October… stay tuned!! The latest record "Longitude" was released May 1, 2020, and releasing a record during a pandemic was an interesting challenge, but we've had fun playing these tunes for live audiences over the past couple years. You can purchase it HERE! Beautiful, blue vinyl is also available for all you vinyl lovers! We are always posting new videos on our video page, and you can check out our latest one above, our entry to the NPR Tiny Desk Contest!
While focusing on writing and recording, there are a few shows coming up - solo and full band - and we look forward to booking shows in support of new music releases! You can check out the Britt Connors Music page on Facebook or Instagram for the instant updates, or please do check the SHOWS page for all the details. If you like being the first to know about behind-the-scenes and upcoming fun, please do sign the email list above (or on any page) for occasional newsletters (don't worry - I won't overload you!) And, if you like to support artists directly, I'd be grateful if you'd head over to the music page to take a listen or to purchase our tunes, or stream them on the usual streamy places :)
Hope to see you out there… new things coming SOON!!!!
Your friend,
Britt

Four songwriters take the stage, seated in a comfortable semi-circle. They take turns playing songs, occasionally joining in with each other on harmony vocals or guitar licks. The format encourages conversation between the writers, which gives the audience an opportunity to hear these creative people talk as if in their own living rooms. Inspired by the “guitar pulls” of the legendary Bluebird Café in Nashville.
You might hear a young up-and-coming pro, an established mid-career performer and mentor, and a cherished elder of the scene — all sharing music. The growing relationships will warm your heart and enrich your soul. Come every week as the lineup shifts and new friends are made.
Hosted by Somerville singer/songwriter David Thorne Scott. Held on the first and third Wednesdays of each month from 7:00-8:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door.
Part of the ROOTED Armory Café Series.
We're back at the Christian Science Center Plaza for some free outdoor music - full band and horns to really rock the square!
