July 11, 2016 Press Release In the News 0

Album Debuts at #1 on iTunes Singer/Songwriter Chart
Headlining Summer Tour Kicked Off In Birmingham, AL

 Nashville, Tenn. – Nashville singer-songwriter, Sean McConnell – whose songs have been recorded by music greats Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Christina Aguilera, Buddy Miller, Rascal Flatts, Marc Broussard, Plain White T’s, Wade Bowen, the Brothers Osborne, Meat Loaf, Martina McBride, the Eli Young Band, David Nail and others, and featured on the smash hit television show Nashville – has released his eponymous Rounder Records debut album. The record debuted at #1 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart on July 8th.

Sean McConnell has garnered early critical praise: HITS Daily Double celebrates the album, “His new set on Rounder is his most accomplished yet, and reflects both finely honed songcraft and emotional depth…His voice sounds gorgeous, and the production—by the Nashville team of Ian Fitchuk and Jason Lehning—is crystalline. Is McConnell ready to become a star himself? Judging by this stellar set, we’d say yes.”

 

AllMusic offers, “With his rich, warm tenor and melodic, pop-Americana sound, he’s seemed poised for a breakout for a number of years.”

 

In a feature for Nashville Lifestyles Magazine‘s July issue McConnell says, “I stand behind every record I’ve ever made because they all represent a Polaroid of where I am at a certain time. This one feels like me at this point in my life, and I think people will hear that and connect with it.”

 

AllMusic also premiered the album stream this week stating, “After several self-released albums and an extensive career writing for others, including Tim McGraw, Christina Aguilera, Meat Loaf and Plain White T’s, singer/songwriter Sean McConnell is ready to break out on his own. His self-titled album for Rounder Records carries the diversity of his résumé, blending traditional singer/songwriter elements with folk, country, Americana and rock styles.” CMT Music and CMT.com also premiered the official video for his single “Holy Days.” Watch it below.

 

McConnell travels the states performing his own style of music that he describes as “lyric driven Americana soul music.” Music of New Braunfels explains, “Sean is one of the best performing songwriters of present day, but he fits comfortably into genres such as Americana, Roots, Folk, Country, Pop, Rock, Blues or even Christian & Gospel at times. Some of those would be pretty loose affiliations, but fans of any of these are likely future Sean McConnell fans.”

 

His summer 2016 tour dates kicked off at Workplay in Birmingham, AL on July 8th. He will celebrate the release of his album with 13 shows throughout Texas, where he has been embraced by the homegrown “Red Dirt” community of singers & songwriters. Other dates of note included Terminal West in Atlanta, GA on July 9th and 3rd & Lindsley in Nashville, TN on July 10th. McConnell will continue with a west coast tour starting in mid-August. Other dates include Valley Bar in Phoenix, AZ on August 30th and The Soiled Dove Underground in Denver, CO on September 1st.

 

Sean McConnell is available now on Amazon, iTunes and select retailers.
