Straight up Country music doesn’t often draw me out to a live show, though I guess there are a lot of options for it in my circles. I liked what I was hearing with Sean McConnell. A straight-up country singer/songwriter from Nashville, being performed in the Beachland Tavern, was a pretty easy yes. However, the bonus here was the introduction of the opener Caleb Elliott, hailing from Louisiana.
While Caleb’s album is flush with full instrumentation, his skill as a songwriter (and just being a lovely human being) really shined during his opening set. His sound is a little more smoothed out, calling himself a “rhythm and strings guy". His show was a real treat, and I’m really looking for a full band headline show from him, hopefully in the near future.
Sean McConnell took the stage - with Caleb Elliott on guitar. I found out that Sean McConnell actually recorded all the instruments on his latest album himself, except for Cello which Caleb played. Sean’s polished with a great sound and solid production. Very satisfying.
