He released his first album at the age of fifteen, and his most recent (and well received) album “Second Hand Smoke” clearly shows why he has become such a sought-after songwriter. It is full of beautiful folk pop and Americana, sung with a warm tenor voice and accompanied by a characteristic guitar playing.

“ Not only does McConnell deliver a heart-stopping vocal performance but he crafts a lyric that relies on a series of familiar lyrical themes that would feel like clichés in less capable hands but instead, given McConnell's passionate performance and musical attack, feel like revelation. “
