Mike Connell of The Connells Talks About New Album Steadman's Wake

I'm extremely pleased to bring you this episode's guest. The Connells are a North Carolina-based rock band that got some radio play on college and alternative rock stations in the 1990s. Their excellent album "Ring" spawned a hit song and gained them some renown in Europe as well. The Connells are set to release their first album in 20 years with "Steadman's Wake." The first three singles are already on the streaming services and it's a top notch record. Mike was gracious with his time and we discussed the new album at length, as well as some of Mike's influences and a little about songs on "Ring," and we got a guest appearance from his pup.
