Style: Country
Bio: Ags Connolly is a traditional country singer-songwriter from West Oxfordshire in the UK. Country is the simplest
description, but Ags is a proud supporter of Dale Watson’s ‘Ameripolitan’ movement, which supports new music with a roots

Bio: Ags Connolly is a traditional country singer-songwriter from West Oxfordshire in the UK. Country is the simplest
description, but Ags is a proud supporter of Dale Watson’s ‘Ameripolitan’ movement, which supports new music with a roots
influence, away from the modern incarnation of country that exists today (you know the stuff…).
Having attempted to write songs for years, Ags found the confidence to take it seriously after attending a workshop with
Nashville super-musician Darrell Scott. Since then he’s performed his own songs at events like the 2013 Country2Country
Festival at the O2 in London and shared the stage with artists like Fred Eaglesmith, Martin Stephenson, Paul Kelly, Dean
Owens and Dale Watson; the latter being at the Continental Club in Austin, Texas.
Ags’s influences come essentially from hardcore country like David Allan Coe, Johnny Cash, Johnny Paycheck, Robert Earl
Keen and Chris Knight. However, he also takes major non-country influences from the likes of Loudon Wainwright III and Ron
Sexsmith.
Ags’ debut album ‘How About Now’, produced by Dean Owens, was released on Drumfire Records in February 2014, receiving
rave reviews. « hide |
