Ben Connelly Release

07/28/06
. (PR) Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter Ben Connelly is set to release his new album, "Over You," on September 12th. Coming out on his own AD/CD label, the record will receive Twin Cities brick and mortar distribution, as well as being available via internet mail order and digital distribution portals such as iTunes and Rhapsody. The songs on "Over You" tell stories about love and death, little lights in the night, the raw ache of heartbreak, and what's beyond the stars, all in Connelly's sometimes funny, always touching lyrical twists and turns.

Accompanied by drummer Peter Anderson, Connelly's vocals and finger-style guitar are joined by Mark Mallman and Joanna James (backing vocals), and Brian O'Neill (pedal steel). Connelly also plays piano, organ, bass, and cello, creating a tantalizing folk-rock-tin pan alley blend. Pal Jason Keillor handled the recording gear. The result is a satisfying amalgam of singer-songwriter storytelling, biting humor, cynicism, and hope.[see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
