Kerrin Connolly

Kerrin Connolly is a DIY indie rock musician based in the greater Boston area. Known globally for their influence on YouTube, Kerrin has spent the last decade uploading covers and original songs from home, utilizing anything from frying pans, toaster ovens, bass ukuleles, and everything in between.

The time spent video-editing earned this artist a tight-knit and dedicated community of music loving nerds (as well as some attention from NPR) but it wasn’t until 2019 when Kerrin released their debut album “Almost”. Since then they have regularly peppered streaming services with self-produced singles all throughout the pandemic, most notably generating buzz with “Fly in My Room”, which now has over 1 million streams on Spotify.

A concoction of bedroom power pop and clever ballads, Connolly creates toe-tapping tunes with heart. Their new EP “Don’t Be Afraid” promised a bigger sound than ever and landed Sound of Boston’s best albums of 2022. With 6 songs and lyrical inspirations such as Greek mythology, Mark Twain, and closet-dwelling monsters, there is plenty to look forward to.
