Sean McConnell

Sean McConnell is a rootsy singer/songwriter known for his passionately down to earth approach, easily shifting from acoustic simplicity to edgier electric tracks. McConnell first found success in the 2000's as a Nashville songsmith, penning songs for country, rock, and pop artists like Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, Jason Castro, and Meat Loaf. His concurrent solo career yielded strong outings like 2009's Saints, Thieves, Liars, which won fans among the Texas red dirt music scene and eventually netted him a recording contract with Rounder Records for his eponymous 2016 album. He returned in early 2019 with the self-produced Secondhand Smoke album for the Big Picnic label, while 2025 brought Skin, a deeply personal work exploring his personal, professional, and family lives.
